No Need For Confusion

Tenchi struggles with his feeling towards Ryoko and the affect it will have on the others. Please R+R I posted this on TMFFA.com and had great reviews. Some later chapters have an Outlaw star crossover kind of thing but still concentrates on Tenchi and ga

No Need For Confusion-Chapter 6: Tokimi's Power...

Tenchi and Ryoko's ship arrived first in the middle of the night
followed shortly by the others. Everyone got out looking beat save Ryoko, Washu, and Sasami.

(Yaaawwwnnn) "Uggh I'm beat. How about you Ryoko?"

"Oh no Tenchi I'm not tired at all and I'm not letting you sleep for anything."
She said with an evil smile.

" Uuuggghhh... Ryoko I just don't have the strength or
endurance."

"Oh don't worry I'll make sure that doesn't last long." She said still
with a devilish smirk.

"What do you mean?"

"You'll see Tenchi. You remember seeing Washu give me something right?"

"Yeah what was it."

"Oh just wait till we get to the room."

"All right." He said with an exasperated sigh.

"Hey are you guys just going to stand there or are you going in?"
Sasami yelled. "Don't you know that it's winter here now. A few days on
Jurai is a few months here." Ryoko and Tenchi both looked around at the
snow.

"Wait why is time slower on Jurai?"

"Well even though members of the Jurai family live extremely long lives
because of the sap from Tsunami the space tree the general public
doesn't and their lifespan is shorter than an earthlings. So time was
slowed down so people don't age as fast." Ryoko shivered from noticing
the cold and how she hated it.

"What's wrong Ryoko?" Tenchi asked when he noticed her shivering.

"It's this damn cold it reminds me of the cave and I hate thinking
about that place." Tenchi pulled her closer to where her head was
resting on his chest and wrapped his arms around her.

"Don't worry Ryoko I'm here. Let's go inside." She looked up and smiled
and they all went in with Noboyuki coming last crying with Yosho just
rolling his eyes. Noboyuki met Washu inside.

"Noboyuki now that Ryoko and Tenchi are married I think we need to make
some adjust ions to the house and I say we start tomorrow."

"Well all right Miss Washu."

"LISTEN IT'S JUST WASHU!"

"Geez all right don't get so mad. Gene are you going to help?"

"Yeah sure."

"Great now lets all go to bed."

"Wait. Ryoko here." Washu said throwing Ryoko a small object that
looked like a calculator.

"Thanks but... What is it?"

"Just put it on the bedroom door and press the red button otherwise
none of us will get any sleep. Sasami, Ryo-Ohki get back here." Washu
said tossing Sasami and Ryo-Ohki the same device she had given a Ryoko
along with what looked like some sort of liquid.

"Thanks Washu. Goodnight." Ryo-Ohki and Sasami said as they went up the
stairs to their room followed by Ken-Ohki and Jim.

"Well I'll see you two later I'm going to bed."

"Yeah night Tenchi, night Ryoko." Gene said and followed Washu.

"Well let's go Ryoko." He said as they both went up the stairs. Tenchi
went in the room first Ryoko made sure to attach Washu's device and
pressed the red button. Afterwards she saw Tenchi talking inside the
room but couldn't here him outside. She smiled and mouthed the words
"thanks mom" and went in.

"Ryoko what was that thing Washu slipped you after the wedding...
Ryoko?" Tenchi looked out and saw Ryoko but she apparently didn't hear
him. She stepped in and he tried again. "Ryoko what did Washu give you
right after the wedding."

"Oh is that what you were asking before?"

"Wait you heard me? Why didn't you answer?"

"I didn't hear you I saw your mouth move Washu's little device blocks
sound from leaving the room."

"Oh that's what she meant. Well what's the other thing?"

"You mean this." She said holding a vile of glowing light blue liquid.
"It will completely revitalize a person's strength and make him feel
completely refreshed."

"Oh that's what you were so happy about. Always count on Washu." He
said with a smile.

"That and the fact that it gives the person more energy than they
originally had."

"Oh you're a bad girl."

"I know." She said giving him a long passionate kiss as Tenchi started
to slip her dress off. "Wait Tenchi. You have to take this first or
you'll won't make it to tomorrow." She said handing him the vile. He
downed it as quickly as he could and immediately started where he had
left off.

"Gene you know with a push of a button I can turn off those sound
absorbers."

"You wouldn't. Would you?"

"Why not you know how much Noboyuki wants to video tape Tenchi and
Ryoko will have figured out what those do and will not be worried about
making to much noise and will probably "Experiment" with other things
so I think I'll help Noboyuki out."

"But once you've cut it off won't they stop immediately?"

"Not if I cut all of them off at the same time and warn Noboyuki ahead
of time." Washu said typing something on her holo-top and Noboyuki's
face appeared on the screen.

"Whah! Washu don't do that."

"Sorry. I think I have the ability to get you something you want. Maybe
a video tape of Ryoko and Tenchi... Well commencing in certain
"activities"."

"Really Washu how?"

"Go get your video camera and be ready for a lot of noise all right."

"Ok Washu." Noboyuki said leaving and returning five minutes later.

"Ok get ready." Washu said turning off the screen.

"Washu why are you bothering to turn off the sound absorbers when
Noboyuki knows?"

"Well all the noise will cause confusion and Ryoko and Tenchi are to
preoccupied to notice and when they do it will already be to late. Now
here goes." Washu said pushing a button. The house suddenly erupted
with so much noise that Washu wasn't even prepared. Noboyuki got what
he wanted and more. When Ryoko noticed the sound she unwillingly looked
away from Tenchi to see Noboyuki and his camcorder.

"Tenchi get off your dad." She said as they rolled off of each other
and pulled the covers over them.

"DAD! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Tenchi yelled over all the other noise.

"Aw don't mind me son just keep on going that was an interesting
style."

"You hentai!" Ryoko said threatening Noboyuki with an energy ball.

"Aw well I got what I wanted see ya." He said running as fast as he
could.

"Oh come back here you..." Ryoko said starting to get up when Tenchi
stopped her.

"Don't worry let him keep it. Besides lets not let him spoil our
"fun"."

"You're right Tenchi. Washu turn that damn thing back on now!" Ryoko
yelled as the device started back up. "That's better." She said
wrapping her arms around Tenchi once again.

Back in Washu's lab Gene and Washu were laughing uncontrollably.
"That was good Washu Noboyuki was hilarious."

"Yeah that and how everyone was caught off guard and how they must
feel."

"Then how come we aren't doing the same dear?" Gene said coming up
behind Washu and wrapping his arms around his wife's waist.

"Oh Gene you're being so forward."

"What's wrong you don't like that?"

"Oh no. Come on aren't you gonna continue?" Gene smiled and started to
slip Washu's kimono over her shoulders.

The next day.

(yyyyawwwwnn) "Uggh what an incredible night. Oooohhh I'm
exhausted." Tenchi said looking over at his peacefully sleeping wife.
"I don't deserve someone as wonderful as her." Tenchi said wrapping his
arms around Ryoko.

"I thought I told you not to say things like that." She said turning
over and putting her arms around Tenchi's neck.

"Well it's true."

"That's your point of view personally I think I'm the luckiest girl in
the world."

"As long as you're happy."

"Something smells good. Looks like Sasami's got breakfast ready."

"Wow I thought she'd be to tired to do anything."

"Tenchi she's a goddess, what do you expect."

"I guess you're right. Come on lets go get breakfast." He said as they
both got dressed and went downstairs. Jim met them half way.

"Tenchi I was wondering if I could talk to you privately for a minute?"

"Sure Jim. Ryoko you go on down I'll be right there. Now what's up?"

"Well... You know how Ryoko can take care and fight for herself but you
still don't like her to and you insist on doing the fighting?"

"Yeah." Tenchi said with a smile.

"Well Sasami can take care of herself but... I want to be able to fight
for her like you do for Ryoko. So I was wondering if you could train me
like your grandfather did you?"

"Well I have completed my training so I guess I can train you and
Sasami and Ryoko can watch."

"No! I don't want Sasami to know yet."

"Well suit yourself. Meet me at the shrine in two hours."

"All right thanks Tenchi."

"No problem now lets go eat." He said as they walked to the kitchen.

"Hey Jim what did you ask Tenchi?"

"uhhh... Nothing Sasami."

"Whatever."

"Oh Sasami I'll need a pack lunch for today. I have to go to the
shrine."

"Why?"

"Grandpa needs me for something."

"Ok Tenchi I'll have one ready. Now sit down and eat."

"Yeah I'm starving and it smells wonderful." He said sitting down
beside Ryoko. Everything went normal during breakfast. Tenchi left for
the shrine right after finishing and Ryoko followed.

"Tenchi what did Jim ask you anyway?"

"Well you know how I hate you having to fight even though you're
perfectly able to take care of yourself."

"Yeah, I think I'm starting to understand."

"Well Jim wants to do the same and so he asked me to train him."

"And being your sweet self you said yes." Ryoko finished for him. "So
why didn't Jim come with us?"

"He's meeting us in an hour and a half."

"So why did we come so early?"

"He doesn't want Sasami to know and I didn't want her to suspect
anything."

"Oh he's being so sweet. Even though Sasami will be pissed when she
finally finds out."

"You've got that right."

"Tenchi what are you doing here?" Came Yosho's voice.

"Grandpa do you have to keep your young form?"

"What's wrong with me wanting to stay like this?"

"Oh whatever. I'm here because I'm going to train Jim. He'll be here in
about an hour and a half."

"Oh so you're following in your grandfather's footsteps."

"No I'm just training Jim."

"Well are you good enough to be the master?"

"I think so."

"Well prove it. Ryoko now has all three gems spar with her."

"WHAT! She's my wife you don't expect me to..."

"Oh come on Tenchi it's not like we're going to be using real weapons."

"I'll spar with you but I won't attack you."

"Why not?"

"You're my wife."

"Whatever Tenchi."

"All right here you two." Yosho said throwing two bokkens towards Ryoko
and Tenchi who picked them up and got in a battle stance. "Hai!" Yosho
yelled signaling them to begin. Ryoko charged and attacked Tenchi but
not with her normal force that she would attack anyone else with.
Tenchi had no intention of attacking her at all just fend her off.

"Tenchi this is like the first time we met at your school."

"Why did you attack me then anyway?" He said parrying her attack.

"Well it made me mad when you ran away from me at the cave. Besides I
was just playing with you trying to get you in a corner so I could talk
to you and... Well other things... You know."

"Well at the cave you were a mummy trying to kiss me. Had you been your
normal self I wouldn't have run. WHOA!" Tenchi said nearly receiving a
blow to the chest.

"Well I used all my power to be able to leave the cave in my astral
form. That's how I met you. I saw a woman one day carrying a baby who
looked my way and actually saw and smiled at me and when your mother
died you came running to the cave and I comforted you even though you
had lost your ability to see me you still acted like you could feel me
there."

"Ryoko why didn't you ever tell... Ow!" Tenchi said after receiving a
blow to the head.

"Tenchi you let your emotions control you." Yosho said.

"Yeah... Sorry."

"Don't worry about it. You're still good enough to train Jim."

"Hey what are you two doing up here?" Came Ryo-Ohki's voice as she and
Ken-Ohki walked up to the shrine.

"Waiting for Jim. Tenchi's going to train him. He wants to protect
Sasami isn't that cute?"

"That's so brave of him he's so cute."

"Hey what do you mean cute?" Ken-Ohki asked.

"Don't worry Ken-Ohki. He's not as cute as you." She said giving him a
kiss.

"I shouldn't have told him two hours. Hey Ryo-Ohki could you go get him
without telling Sasami?"

"Sure Tenchi." She said then disappeared.

"Hey I didn't know she could do that too."

"Of course Tenchi. She and Ken-Ohki are linked to Washu."

"Oh." Tenchi said as Ryo-Ohki reappeared holding Jim's arm.

"Here he is."

"Hey what's up can't you warn me a little bit? You're a lot like
Ashia."

"Well that's because their two species are very closely related... And
because Ryo-Ohki has been hanging around her a little to much." Washu
said who had apparently caught on to the scheme.

"Hey Washu will you please stay with Sasami? She's going to figure it
out when she notices we're all gone."

"No she won't Tenchi. We're all back at the house."

"What? Washu are you alright?"

"I'm fine Tenchi."

"Then explain how we're in two places at once."

"Well Ryoko, Ryo-Ohki, Ken-Ohki, and I have the doppleganger ability
and Sasami knows you're gone and Jim said he was going to help me in my
lab."

"Oh. Very good Washu."

"Thank you Tenchi."

"Well Jim are you ready to begin?"

"Yeah lets go."

"All right pick up a bokken." Jim did so. "Now we're not going to spar
today of course. First you have to learn the routine."

"All right I'm ready." Tenchi nodded and he went through every step
till Jim was familiar with them, which took about three hours. Tenchi
put his bokken down and started walking away. "Is that all? Are we done
for today?"

"No I'm done for today. This was your lesson now you have to practice
and get better and tomorrow we'll work with balance and practice the
routine again."

"Wait when do I come back to the house?"

"When you can no longer hold your eyes open."

"Geez! Well I've gotta do it." Jim said going back to his practice and
Tenchi headed down the steps with Ryoko's arm rapped around his and her
head on his shoulder.

"You're starting to sound like your grandfather Tenchi." Ryoko said
looking up at him.

"Really was I that bad?"

"No not as strict as him... But close."

"Well I learned from him."

"Yeah well don't start acting like him all the time."

"Don't worry Ryoko I don't think I'll be able to stand myself if I did
that."

"Neither would I. Oh! I forgot I have to get rid of the doppleganger." She said closing her
eyes as the other Ryoko phased in and assimilated with the real one.

"Hey why didn't you eat your lunch Tenchi?"

"It's for Jim not me he has to eat sometime. I'll just get some rice balls."

"Speaking of Jim what are you going to tell Sasami?"

"That I managed to push my chores onto Jim."

"You'll regret that statement."

"I know." Tenchi said entering the house. He walked in as quietly as he could to try and get by without Sasami seeing or hearing. His hopes were in vain.

"Hey Tenchi where's Jim?"

"Oh... Jim... Yeah well Sasami I kind of "gave" him my chores."

"You mean pushed them on him." Ryoko added with a smirk. WHAM!

"Somehow I knew that was coming."

"Yeah well good for you. Now why weren't you prepared?" Sasami said as she looked at Tenchi who was holding his crotch in pain.

"I have no idea. Ryoko would you please go get me an ice pack?"

"Yeah all right... Even though I'd rather cool them down myself."

"Wait till tonight my dear."

"But Teeennnnccchhhiii! That's to long of a wait."

"I know but if there's one thing I've learned from grandpa it's patience." Ryoko gave him a skeptic look. "All right I don't have any self-control or patience." She nodded and started to walk upstairs. "Hey Ryoko where are you going?"

"Oh just to change into something that might change your mind and get you an ice pack." She said as she started up the stairs making a swinging motion with her hips to attract
even more of Tenchi's attention and satisfaction. (Hey is that even possible?)

"I have no idea." Tenchi said who was in a trance and now was totally oblivious to the pain in his
crotch anymore. Ryoko came back and saw Tenchi.

"Tenchi... Tenchi... Boy I'm good."

"Oh! Ryoko thanks. Hey when did you get those close? Come on I like to use my
imagination a bit." He said referring to the lack of covering she had.

"A wedding present... From Noboyuki."

"What my dad gave you that? I've got to remember to thank him." He said as Sasami re-
entered the room.

"Whoa Sasami you're not going to kick me again are you?"

"If you don't watch it I will. I want to know Tenchi. Just how chores did you give Jim?"

"Well he'll probably be here after dinner so save him a plate."

"What?! Just how many chores did you give him?"

"Well all of them and I had to make sure he was doing it right."

"AND JUST HOW DID YOU MANAGE THAT?"

"Washu." He said hanging his head.

"WASHU! I'LL KILL HER!!!!!!" Sasami said heading for Washu's lab.

"Oh crap! Ryoko get to Washu before Sasami does." Tenchi said in a whisper.

"All right!" She said phasing away and appeared right in front of Gene and Washu...
Well... Doing... Ya know. "Oh Washu I didn't need to see that. Well just close off access
to this place Sasami's coming and she's pissed."

"Damn it Why'd you have to interrupt us?"

"Would you rather Sasami have walked in firing energy spheres at you?"

"You're right I'll take care of it." She said closing her eyes.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"I'm using my powers to keep her out. Come on do you really think my machinery will
keep Sasami out. It wouldn't even keep Mihoshi out."

"Well I guess you're right."

"Ryoko leave now."

"Glad to." She said disappearing. Washu opened her eyes after a few minutes.

"All right that's done."

"Hey Washu what wedding present did you give Ryoko? I won't say anything."

"Well it turned out that Tenchi and Ryoko weren't compatible sooo..."

"Oh won't she be surprised after last night."

"You got it."

"Washu why haven't we had a child?"

"Hmmmm. I don't kn... Wait! Ryoko and I are still somehow linked not in mind but still
body. Ryoko also was formed from a combination of the masses and my egg cells same
with Ryo-Ohki and Ken-Ohki only changed so that it was male..."

"Whoa, Whoa! Washu I don't understand I don't completely understand what you just
said and also Ken-Ohki said he belonged to Nagi."

"Yes Kagato gave it to Nagi to make sure Ryo-Ohki was as unhappy as Ryoko. Gene I'll
have to research this before I can say anything."

"All right. Now where were we?"

"Oh I think you can figure that out." She said wrapping her arms around Gene.

"So Ryoko how'd it go?" Tenchi asked as Ryoko appeared in front of him.

"For Washu good. For us, when Sasami can't get to Washu, BAD."

"Well lets go for a walk."

"That's a good idea Tenchi." She purred seductively. (Ok I know that's new but I needed
to add it.)

"TENCHI!!!!!" Came Sasami's enraged voice.

"Ryoko fast get away please." He said as Ryoko wrapped her arms around his neck and
they locked in a passionate kiss as Ryoko teleported them both away.

"AAAAHHHH!!! I can't get this!" Jim said in frustration.

"Here let me help." Yosho said.

"Thank you Lord Yosho."

"Ah, just Yosho. Now what's the problem?"

"Well I just can't seem to do these maneuvers in sequence."

"Here let me show you." He said as he did them like it was a daily chore. (Which is pretty
much true.)

"But how."

"You need to concentrate on moving your body smoothly concentrating on fluid
movements."

"That's easy for you to say."

"It's harder for you because you waited till you were eighteen to start you get impatient
easily."

"Nineteen." Jim corrected.

"Whatever. Now try again. Slowly this time."

"All right." Jim said as he started the routine. He did it close to flawlessly. "How'd I do it
this time."

"You just needed to talk to someone you've been here by yourself for two and a half
hours."

"Whoa I bet Sasami's pissed. I wonder what Tenchi told her?" Right as Jim said that
Tenchi and Ryoko appeared in mid-air engaged in a kiss. They broke away and answered
his question.

"I told her I pushed my chores onto you and I got kicked out of the house. So how are
you doing?"

"Well Yosho had to help me."

"Hey sorry I just left you because that's what grandpa did to me. So grandpa how'd he
do?"

"Very well now that he's got it."

"Great then we'll start the next part tomorrow. Just to warn you it's tough. Now keep
practicing."


"What... But... Where are you going?"

"Well uuuhhh... We were just going to take a walk through the woods."

"Walk my ass. You're just going out there far away to get some nookie Tenchi." Jim said
with a smile.

"Well uhhh... I mean." Tenchi said turning bright red. "Ryoko lets go." He said grabbing
on to her as she was about to teleport them away. "Oh and Jim when we get back you can
go."

"I think I'll fall asleep before that happens." He said as Tenchi and Ryoko disappeared.
"Yosho will you stay?"

"Yeah I think I will."

"Yeah! Did you just say yeah? Yosho I think that young form's given you an attitude."

"Yeah I'm going to try on some of the girls next."

"Yeah right Yosho there aren't any girls available here." Jim said as he practiced his
routine.

"Well soon I'll get my chance just you see." Right as Yosho said that a whistling noise
went through the air. "What is that?" Yosho asked to no one in particular. They both
looked up to see Mihoshi's ship Yukinojo hurdling towards their location. *SPLASH!*

The Yukinojo crashed into the pond.

"Well looks like you'll get your chance Yosho."

"You know what. I think I'll pass." He said as a scream rang out. Only Yosho looked
startled Jim however saw it as an everyday thing. "Jim do you think Mihoshi's hurt?"

"Mihoshi nothing. That's Ryoko's voice." Yosho turned red and started laughing.

"I don't see what's so funny. This means she's only on her third or fourth orgasm and I
have about two more hours to train." That set Yosho off he bawled over laughing.

"Oh those two." He managed to spit out.

"That's what Sasami usually says." Jim said as Yosho regained his composure.
WWWWWWWWHHHHHAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!! "Now that's Mihoshi."

"Well I'll go meet her."

"All right bring her up here." Jim said as Yosho jumped every step of the shrine.

"WWWHHHAAAAHHH!!!! I did it aggaaiinn!!!" Mihoshi wailed as Yosho landed
right in front of her. "Huh who are you?!" She said whipping out her pistol. "What are
you doing at Tenchi's house? You look a lot look Tenchi but I know it can't be him."

"What are you talking about Mihoshi? I'm Tenchi's grandfather."

"What? You can't fool me. Tenchi's grandfather's an old man."

"Uhhh!" Yosho said shaking his head as he reverted to his old form and voice. "Now do
you believe me Mihoshi?"

"Oh it is you." She said giving him a hug. When she released him he was back to his
young form.

"Yes it is Mihoshi. Now what are you doing back here?"

"Well I missed Tenchi and Ryoko's wedding because of an assignment and decided to
come see everyone. Speaking of everyone where are the newly weds?" Yosho went red.

"Uuuhh... Well they went for a walk and..." Yosho was cut off by a scream of pleasure
from Ryoko that came from the mountains.

"Oh I see well where are Washu and Gene?"

"In Washu's lab I suppose. But Jim asked that you come to the shrine and watch him
train."

"All right that sounds fun."

"What did you say about Jim?" Came Sasami's voice.

"Time to go Mihoshi!" He said as he grabbed her and jumped into the air.

"Darn it what are they up to?" Sasami said and went back inside.

Yosho and Mihoshi landed at the shrine to see Jim going through the routine perfectly.

"Very good Jim you've mastered the routine... But can you perform them accurately in
fast paced combat?"

"You've got to be kidding. Oh hey Mihoshi."

"Hi Jim it's so good to see you."

"Don't worry you'll be fine. Besides you're only practicing balance tomorrow and that has
very little to do with the routine only the basic sword techniques which you learned at the
beginning of the routine. Now can you handle this?" Yosho said summoning the Tenchi-
Ken. "Here this will answer a few questions."

"Wait that will attack anyone who touches it that is not of the royal family." He said as
Yosho threw it at him. He reluctantly caught it and to his relief it accepted him. "What?
I'm not part of the royal family."

"No but it's telling your future. It can't always do this, only if it's clear and very probable
can it tell the future."

"Tell the future? Yosho you're starting to sound like your old self again. What exactly do
you mean."

"Well it doesn't outright say it you have to assume. But this isn't an assumption this is
clear as a bell. As you know the only way to become a part of the royal family is to marry
a member of the royal family and Sasami is a member of the royal family."

"Wait! You mean?" Yosho nodded.
"WWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Jim yelled
at the top of his lungs.

"Ok, ok, keep it down. So when are you going to propose?"

"That's so sweet Sasami and Jim getting married." Mihoshi said breaking down into tears.

"I've got a good idea. I don't want to much controversy sooo..."

"I get the idea I won't say anything."

"Thanks." Jim said as a worn out Tenchi and Ryoko appeared. "It sounded like you had
fun. They both turned beet red and nodded.

"Well Jim time to go." Tenchi said. "Tomorrow the real work begins and I'll be with you
the whole time."

"Hey no fair Tenchi, what about me." Ryoko said dropping Tenchi and putting on her
pitiful look.

"Yaaaahhhh!" Tenchi said falling down. "Ow! Don't worry Ryoko you know I always
treat you well." He said with a smirk.

"Yeah well can we just go?"

"All right. Goodnight grandpa."

"Goodnight Tenchi."

"Oh Mihoshi I didn't see you when did you get here?" Tenchi asked.

"Well about ten minutes or something I don't know." Mihoshi stuttered.

"Same old Mihoshi." Ryoko said with a laugh.

"Ok can we just go? I'd like to see Sasami she's probably pissed."

"That's an understatement Jim." Tenchi said wincing at the sound of Sasami's name.
Tenchi then motioned for everyone to follow.

When they got down Sasami was waiting for them and gave Tenchi a look that she
would kill in an instant.

"Ehehe high Sasami you're not still mad are you?"

"You're not that lucky Tenchi."

"Ooh boy." He said with a sigh.

"Ah Sasami let him off. I'm back."

"Oh Jim you're finally back." She said running up and giving him a passionate kiss.

"All right you to I'm going to bed I'm beat." Tenchi said as her turned to leave.

"Yeah you should be."

"What? Why should he be tired Jim? You did all of his chores."

"Sasami you know why." He said giving her a smile.

"No I don't I've been having trouble using my powers because of some type of
intervention."

"Well you can probably guess why."

"Oooohhh. I get it." She said with a smile.

"Sasami can we go to bed early? I'm worn out as well."

"Sure." She said not looking to happy. "Oh and Tenchi." Sasami said right before Tenchi
rounded the corner.

"Yes Sasami?"

"If you do that again you will regret it."

"That's what I'm afraid of." He said then turned back toward his room with Ryoko close
behind. Sasami looked around and saw Mihoshi.

"Oh hi Mihoshi! When did you get here?"

"About fifteen minutes ago."

"I'm so glad to see you!" She said giving her a hug.

"Me too Sasami."

"Oh hi Mihoshi." Came Ken-Ohki's voice as he opened the refrigerator door.

"Hey did someone say Mihoshi?" Ryo-Ohki asked walking in the kitchen.

"Oh Ryo-Ohki Ken-Ohki I forgot you two had teenage forms now."

"Wow it really is Mihoshi." Ryo-Ohki said running over and giving her a hug.

"Mihoshi don't think me rude for not giving you a hug it's just..."

"That you're a guy and it doesn't feel right hugging anyone but Ryo-Ohki right?"
Mihoshi finished for him. Sasami and Ryo-Ohki just stared at her.

"Ok is everyone sure that's really Mihoshi?" Sasami asked doubting her now active
powers.

"Oh it's me all right I'm still a bubble brain just not as bad at times."

"Ok that really doesn't sound like you but I guess you have learned. See ya Mihoshi."
Sasami said as she went in the living room to get Jim and then off to bed.

"I'll see you later Ryo-Ohki I'm going to go see Washu."

"All right bye Mihoshi."

"Now where was Washu's room in here? I know I stumbled into it once." Mihoshi
said back to her old self. "Ah here it is. Hey what's this shield in front of the door.
Hmmm." Mihoshi pondered it for a while, then a thought came to her. She reached for
her cube and started fumbling with it. "Oh you stupid thing what's wrong?" She said
getting frustrated and throwing the cube at it. Upon impact the force field dropped and
Mihoshi picked up her cube and walked in.

"WWWWHHHHHAAAHH!!!" Washu screamed pulling the covers over herself and
Gene.

"Oh my I'm so sorry Miss Washu I didn't know."

"How... Did... You... Do that?" Washu asked her voice shaking with astonishment and
anger. "That field was created by my goddess powers it's impossible for anyone but me
to get through."

"I don't know Washu I just got here and wanted to say hi. I'm sorry
WHHAAHHHAHA!!" Mihoshi wailed.

"Mihoshi it's ok. You are a curse but you're still a good friend."

"You know what I'm really confused here." Gene said speaking up for the first time.

"Don't worry dear. Mihoshi let me get some clothes on." She said waving her hand in the
air as clothes appeared on her body and she floated out of the bed. "Mihoshi I'm very glad to see
you." She said embracing the GP officer in a hug.

"Sniff. Thank you Washu I'm glad to see you too."

"Now lets go. Gene get some clothes on and come out."

"All right see ya in a minute." He said as Washu and Mihoshi walked out.

"Hmmm. It seems Ryoko and Tenchi for once aren't having sex before they go to sleep
probably do to their little escapade in the woods. This is a perfect time to tell Ryoko
something." Washu said as they approached Tenchi and Ryoko's bedroom. She opened
the door knowing that they were still awake cuddling. "Hey Tenchi. Mind if I see Ryoko
for a minute?"

"Oh Washu well it's up to Ryoko not me."

"All right I'm coming mom."

"Wow Ryoko called you mom on her own." Mihoshi said.

"Yes Mihoshi a lot has happened. Now could you excuse us for a moment?"

"Oh sure." Mihoshi said running off.

"Ryoko listen I want you to cut back on the sex a bit."

"WHAT?! Why? Mom you've got to be kidding."

"No Ryoko I don't know if to much exhilaration will affect you abnormally at this time."

"What do you mean? I feel fine."

"Oh you'll find out soon just do what I said."

"Hey you may be my mother but I'm two thousand years old and I can take care of
myself."

"Listen missy I'm your mother and the number on scientific genius in the universe, oh
and don't forget a goddess as well. I know what's best and no you're not going to win
this argument."

"But..."

"Ah now do as I say and get back in there Tenchi's waiting."

"Oooohhh! All right."

"Good girl Little Ryoko."

"Don't call me little. Goodnight mom." She said phasing through the door. Washu shook
her head.

"Oh my daughter is such a handful." She sighed and walked back to her lab.


The Next Day...

Breakfast was going smoothly for Tenchi. Sasami had not mentioned anything about yesterday and was seriously hoping he could make it out with all of his body parts still attached to his body. {Ryoko I need you to get Jim to the shrine without Sasami seeing. I'll try to make it out after without her seeing or asking me any questions.}

{Sure Tenchi. You better be real discrete about this or you might find a very important part of your body missing.} Ryoko answered back as Tenchi gulped loud enough for everyone to hear.

"What's wrong Tenchi?" Sasami asked. Tenchi nearly jumped out of his skin at the sound of her voice.

"What... There's nothing wrong... Whatever gave you that idea?"

"Are you sure you're all right?" She asked giving him a look that meant death if he was lying. Ryoko started to snicker at how Tenchi looked.

"Hey just what are you laughing at?" Tenchi asked her.

"Nothing it's just the look on your face... It's hysterical."

"Ryoko this is not a laughing matter. Now I think you need to be somewhere in a few minutes." Taking a quick look at her and then an even quicker look at Jim. He thanked whatever god was listening that Sasami didn't notice. Suddenly Washu came through her lab door.

"I heard that Tenchi."

"What do you mean Washu?"

"I'll tell you later. Jim could I see you?" She said winking at Ryoko and Tenchi. Jim noticed.

"Sure Washu." He said following her into the lab. Ryoko teleported away about five minutes later.

"Now where's she going?" Sasami asked starting to get suspicious.

"Uhh... I have no idea Sasami I need to go get my chores done."

"Tenchi why do you have to do chores? You're twenty four years old, you don't look a day over eighteen I'll admit that but still."

"I have no idea. I don't have a job because I'm the emporer of Jurai but grandpa says he had to do the chores for six hundred and eighty eight years and that I'm no exception."

"Oh well that's my brother for you." She said with a sigh.

"That's kind of funny." Tenchi said with a slight chuckle.

"What is?"

"That's the first time I've ever heard you consider Yosho as your brother."

"Well now that he's in his young form it's a bit easier."

"Yeah and it's a bit harder for me to call him grandpa. Hey Sasami you're about nine hundred years old right?" Sasami shot him an angry glare. "Uh oh." He said hanging his head. Sasami's expression softened.

"Actually Tenchi eight hundred and fifty seven I just accelerated my bodies physical image to match Jim's. Why?"

"Well when you first arrived you had the body of a thirteen year old but you were still older than me. Why did I age normally at first?"

"Well Tenchi do you remember when you were blown up during the battle with the Souja?" Tenchi nodded. "Well you were killed and as you know Tsunami resurrected you therefore bestowing some of her greatest goddess powers including eternal life with eternal youth, So you stopped aging at early seventeen like I have same with Jim and Ryoko. If you want you can also change your age form."

"Wow thanks Sasami. Listen I'll tell you something since you answered my question. Jim wasn't doing my chores yesterday. I won't tell you what we were doing but he'll have to continue for a while. Don't get angry he's doing this for you." Sasami looked shocked. She closed her eyes and concentrated. When she opened them she had a confused and worried look. "What's wrong Sasami?"

"I can't find out what you were doing. Something's blocking my goddess powers."

"Well that's all the better. He doesn't want you to know yet he wants it to be a surprise."

"All right Tenchi."

"Now do not go anywhere near the steps please."

"Hey I said all right. Now get out of here before I take out any anger I have right now on you."

"Gone." He said dashing out the door. Sasami shook her head and started cleaning up.

Tenchi met Ryoko and Jim up at the shrine along with Washu and Mihoshi.

"Hey I'm here."

"Finally. What took you so long?" Jim asked.

"I had to tell Sasami what we were actually doing up here."

"WHAT? I asked you not to tell."

"Just kidding Jim I told her that you were doing something for her and not to come up here."

"Well I guess that's ok. But won't she be able to use her powers?"

"No something's interfering with them. Which is why I need your advice Washu. You're a goddess do you know what it could be..." Tenchi stopped when he noticed the smirk on Washu's face. "Washu some how I know this is your doing."

"Yes it is Tenchi. She won't be able to as long as I intervene. Since I'm older than Tsunami I'm more powerful and skilled. The only way she could overcome my influence is if Mihoshi finds a way and tells her."

"Why do you say that mom?"

"Well Ryoko Mihoshi somehow penetrated that force field I created with my powers."

"Bwahaahahahah. Oh that is our Mihoshi all right always able to outsmart the greatest scientific genius in the universe, goddess, and my mom."

"Hey she can't outsmart me she just stumbles in somehow."

"Oh ssuuuurreee. You just don't want to admit it... (Boom!) Ow what was that for?"

"For mocking your mommy Little Ryoko." Tenchi started laughing at the chard Ryoko. BOOM!

"Owwwww... Hey you laughed at me earlier today what's the big idea?"

"I'm your wife I'm aloud to do that, you're not."

"She's got a point Tenchi." Washu said as everyone else nodded. Tenchi lowered his head.

"My mistake." He said as Ryoko phased above him and gave him a kiss on the head.

"It's ok Tenchi dear. Just don't do it again."

"All right. Now can we go to the training ground?"

"Yeah come on!" Jim said and started down. Tenchi came down and saw Jim waiting.

"Ok Jim I'll show you what we're doing and how to do it. Watch carefully."

"All right." Tenchi started by throwing up a small chunk of wood with a string into the air and jumping on the wooden stubs while hitting the chunk with his bokken. Tenchi was demonstrating an amazing show of expertise and balance. Jim waited for a few minutes then became bored of watching. A mischievous grin played on his face as he got an idea.

"Hey Ryoko watch out!" He yelled at the top of his lungs.

"What?!" Tenchi yelled as he missed his footing and fell face first into the dirt. Ryoko grabbed Jim and threw him up in the air and out of sight.

"Washu make sure he doesn't hit at full speed on his way back through the atmosphere." Washu rolled her eyes.

"All right." She said summoning her laptop and hitting a few keys a type of laser trampoline formed right where he would land. "Well it will still kind of hurt when he lands... but not to bad." She said with a smirk. Tenchi got up and wiped the dust off of him.

"I hate it when people use you to deceive me." He said with a smile.

"AAAAHHHHHH!!!" Came Jim's voice as he descended. He bounced on the trampoline and went right through it. "Ooohh I don't know what hurts worse my but or the effects of the back lash uuhhh. Oh by the way Tenchi your grandfather suggested I do that."

"That sounds like him. Well your turn Jim."

"All right. Please nobody laugh." He said as he started the routine. Tenchi watched with silent amazement.

{Wow he may be messing up but still for his first time this is incredible.}

{Is that right.} Ryoko said through the link.

{Yes he's much better than I was at first it must be because of his motivation and feel of responsibility for Sasami that pushes him to do better. I for one didn't like practicing.}

{Well you're the master.}

{Hey cut that out.}

{All right all right.} After about three hours Jim was becoming remarkably good at this.

"Well Jim that's amazing you accomplished in less than one day what took me two years."

"You're just saying that."

"No I'm not kidding. No let's go over the routine and some strategies."

"All right sounds good to me." They continued to practice the sword routines for fifteen minutes until it was seen that no further training in that area was needed. Then the strategies came that was hard it took Tenchi an hour just to quickly run through all of them once.

"Now Jim you need to memorize these. I know it will be hard but we'll practice for another three hours then we'll stop for the day. Sound good?"

"Sure." They started again and Jim yet again astounded Tenchi he was doing great.

{Hmmm maybe I'm just a great Teacher.}

{Oh you're a great teacher all right but not that good I think he just has a talent at this.}

{You're probably right Ryoko.}

{Of course I'm right.}

{Sorry of course you're right.} He said giving her a wink and she returned the gesture with a smile. After the three hours were up they all walked back to the house.

"Jim I was collecting data on your performance and it seems you have no powers but extreme skill in this area and I'm not just saying that."

"Really."

"Yes exceptional. You should be close to Tenchi's level in a month."

"You're kidding!"

"No she's not you are quickly approaching my level."

"YES! This is awesome! Thanks Tenchi."

"Hey glad I could help."

A Month Later.

"Wow Jim you have reached my level. The fact that you can hold your own against me and grandpa is unbelievable. Ready to try again?"

"Yeah bring it on Tenchi!"

"Hai!" Ryoko yelled to start the match Tenchi and Jim battled furiously each one parrying the other no one gaining ground. After a few minutes Tenchi and Jim both swung and stopped their bokkens inches from each others throats.

"Draw!" Ryoko called and flew from her tree. Secretly Sasami was watching the whole thing from a distance with excitement.

"So that's what he wanted to surprise me with." She said running up to him and giving him a big hug and kiss. When they parted Jim looked surprised.

"Sasami! What are you doing here?"

"Well I was getting impatient and had to know what you were up to."

"Ah well he's as good as me now Sasami." Tenchi said.

"No way. Why did you start this?"

"Because I felt I should be able to protect you like Tenchi does Ryoko."

"Oh that's so sweet Jim. Thank you." She said giving him another kiss. Ryoko started fling toward Tenchi but seemed to be having some difficulty.

"Ryoko what's wrong?" Tenchi asked with concern.

"I... I don't know. I've never felt like this before..." She said as she fell on her knees and clutched her stomach. "I think I'm going to throw up. It doesn't feel like a virus though."

"Hey where's Washu?"

"I can answer that." Gene said walking forward. "Washu feels the same way. Exactly the same."

"Great. Well lets get her to the lab anyway."

"All right. Need any help Tenchi?" Gene asked.

"No I've got everything set up her. You go and tell Washu." Gene nodded and ran ahead. When they arrived Ryoko immediately ran to the bathroom while Tenchi talked to Washu.

"Washu you're a wreck. You seem to have been hit harder by this virus than Ryoko."

"Oh Tenchi this is no virus."

"What is it then?"

"I'll tell you later when I have the full statistics on the situation." She said as Ryoko came out of the bathroom clutching her stomach.

"Ohhh I knew I was going to throw up. Oh Washu do you know what this is?"

"I'm pretty sure but first we need some tests run. Tenchi I'll guide you through it." She said summoning her holo-computer in front of Tenchi. She talked him through it clear enough that he got it on the second try. Two half pipe shaped covers laid themselves over Washu and Ryoko and made a series of beeping noises along with lights and other things. After a while the covers took their place back in the darkness of Washu's lab. Tenchi looked at the screen and scratched his head.

"Uhhh... Washu I have no idea what all of this means." Washu just smiled and made a motion with her fingers and the holo-computer floated to her. She studied it for a while then sighed a happy sigh and shook her head. She snapped her fingers and the holo-computer vanished. "So what was it Washu?"

"Don't worry about it right now Ten..." Washu stopped and hurled all over the place and a huge sweat drop formed on Tenchi's head.

"Yeah sure don't worry about it it's fine that you're throwing up every thirty minutes."

"Yuck... Tenchi really I just need a little more time before I can really tell anything. Now go take Jim back up to the shrine and train for a while. We'll see you later."

"Are you sure you and Ryoko are going to be all right?"

"Yes Tenchi. NOW GO!" Washu said in a tone that meant don't screw with me anymore.

"All right bye!" He said shooting out of the lab door.

Back outside Sasami and Jim were watching TV when Tenchi came bursting out the door. "Whoa! Tenchi what happened?" The two said at the same time.

"Washu chased me out."

"Washu? I thought she was feeling bad." Jim said curious as to what exactly happened.

"Oh she is but it seems no matter how bad the women feel they always have enough strength to chew me out."

"That's for sure." Sasami said with a giggle. "So what's wrong with Ryoko and Washu anyway."

"Sasami is there still something interfering with your powers?" She nodded. "Well she said she needed a little more time before she could tell me anything for sure. She said I should take you to train some more if you're up to it."

"Sure!" Jim said enthusiastically mainly because he wanted to show off in front of Sasami. "Sasami you're going to come too aren't you?"

"Of course Jim."

"Well let's go." Tenchi said walking outside.

Back in Washu's lab.

"So you still don't know for sure what's wrong?" Ryoko asked. Washu gave Ryoko a weird look.

"Ryoko I just said that to get Tenchi out."

"So what's wrong with us?"

"I'll tell you, but first I want to tell you that this will hit me harder than it will you. As a goddess I can't get sick so this type of pain is new to me as well as the dramatic changes in my body you've got to remember it's been eighteen thousand eight hundred years since I've felt like this."

"Wait so this isn't a sickness? And what was that about you having had this bfore?" Washu put her head in her hands and shook it.

"Ryoko you're starting to sound like Mihoshi."

"Hey what's that... Ooowww." Ryoko said as she tried to stand up but was force down by her stomach.

"Uhhh. I thought I made it obvious but I guess I was wrong. Well here's the news. You and I are... Pregnant." Ryoko nearly fainted on the spot.

"Wa... Washu really? You mean it?" She nodded.

"YES... Oww."

"Ryoko don't get to worked up. I'll let you go tell Tenchi but I need to give you something for the stomach aches." She said materializing a small pill. "Take it. It's better than earth's medicine I'll tell you that much." Ryoko and Washu both took one and instantly felt much better.

"Well I'm going to tell Tenchi. You'll probably want to come. Gene will be there and when I tell Tenchi he'll piece two and two together and get an answer that's better than five. Besides you wouldn't want to miss the look on his face."

"You've got that right. All right I'll come along." She said as they both disappeared.

Up at the shrine Tenchi and Jim were giving it all they had. Gene was actually impressed and proud of Jim. Neither were gaining any ground when Ryoko appeared floating by Tenchi, who continued to battle. "Hello Ryoko. You shouldn't... Be up here Washu's going to be mad." He said parrying Jim's sword.

"Nope. Washu's right over there she whipped up some medication for us. Did wonders."

"Well that's great so what was wrong with you?" He said as he lunged at Jim who blocked.

"Oh there's nothing wrong with me. Actually something great happened to me."

"What was that dear?"

"Well...I'm pregnant." She said with glee.

"What?!!!" SMACK!!! Tenchi lost all concentration and Jim impaled him with his bokken knocking the wind out of him.

"Did I hear correctly Ryoko? Did you say you were pregnant?" Jim said helping a very banged up and confused Tenchi to his feet.

"Yeah same goes for me." Tenchi choked out.

"Yes it's true I'm pregnant."

"Uuuhhhh..." Tenchi moaned as he fainted.

"Wait you and Washu were having the same symptoms so that means... Uuuhhh..." Gene moaned and fainted just like Tenchi.

"AHAHA!!!" Washu balled over laughing from behind the tree. "Oh! That was hysterical I got Tenchi and Gene on tape." She said pointing to a hovering camera.

"Great going Washu. Now Sasami would you please get these guys back to the house?" Ryoko asked.

"I would like to but I can't use my powers. Something's blocking them."

"Oh I forgot to release the hold on your powers. Sorry Sasami." Washu said as she closed her eyes then opened them after a few seconds.

"So it was you."

"Yeah I promised Jim you wouldn't be able to find out his little training secret. Now will you please get these boys back to the house?"

"Sure Washu." Sasami said as Tenchi and Gene started hovering right behind Sasami as she walked towards the house.

"Well see ya everybody. Ryoko you take it easy. And don't teleport too much." Washu said disappearing.

"Yeah, yeah I'm not stupid." Ryoko growled as she too disappeared.

Some time later.

"Ooohhh my head." Tenchi said sitting up off the couch.

"Yeah I know what you mean." Gene said sitting in the couches armrest holding his head.

"Wow!"

"What?"

"Well I was just thinking, it's going to be hell around here with two very dangerous women pregnant."

"When you say dangerous you mean when they're pissed off. Right?"

"Yeah. Oooh now my head hurts even worse."

"Let's drop it. Well I better go see Washu. Bye." Gene said walking into the lab.

"Yeah. See ya." Tenchi waved back as Ryoko appeared. She was radiating with joy, and to Tenchi she looked more beautiful than ever.

(I'm telling you that's not possible. Well don't mind me.)

Tenchi raised his head to meet hers and they locked in a passionate kiss. "So how long?"

"Washu says about seven and a half month's, but I may react differently so even she's not sure."

"I can't believe I'm going to be a daddy. I wonder if I'll be any good at it."

"Oh I'm sure you will."

"Of course he will... At least until the child reaches age eighteen." Washu said as she and Gene exited the lab.

"Why's that?" Asked a confused Tenchi.

"Tenchi the child will age like a normal human. I know you and Ryoko both have immortality but it can't be passed on. The child will have both of your powers combined which will make it extremely powerful."

"Well the how does the baby get immortality?" Ryoko asked.

"Once it is eighteen I'll bestow immortality on it."

"Why at eighteen?" Washu rolled her eyes.

"Sasami can you come here for a moment?" Washu called.

"Yes Washu what do you want." She said coming down the stairs

"Well if you had a choice when you were little to age like you did or age like a normal person until you were eighteen then become immortal, which would you choose?"

"That's a weird question Washu. The answers definitely the second one."

"Thanks Sasami. That's all I needed."

"Whatever Washu." Sasami said walking off.

"Well now do you see my point?" Ryoko and Tenchi nodded.

"One more thing Washu." Ryoko said.

"Yes?"

"Why do you keep calling the baby it or child? You must know what it is."

"I do but it will ruin the surprise. Ok now Tenchi come with me. We have some training to do. We only have about fifteen months to prepare."

"Oh all right. Wanna come Ryoko?"

"Of course. I always like to be near my Tenchi." She said with a smile. Tenchi returned it and the three of them walked to the shrine. When they reached the topped Washu turned to Tenchi and summoned her energy sword.

"Uuuhhh... Washu what are you doing?"

"Getting ready to fight you. What else?"

"Washu I'm not going to fight you."

"Oh yes you are Tenchi. Besides you can't kill me and I'm more powerful than you are."

"Yeah we'll see." Tenchi said summoning his Light Hawk Wings. He launched an attack on Washu. They battled fiercely and Washu seemed to be winning. Ryoko watched from a distance with some wet washcloths and one of Washu's first aid kits.

"Tenchi you're not going to beat me if you don't use your full power." Washu said as they fought.

"I... don't know... how Washu." He said panting.

"Just think about how the energy felt and try and release it just like you form the regular wings."

"All right I'll try." He said getting away from her by doing a back flip. He closed his eyes and tried to form the more powerful wings. The Light Hawk Wings started to glow a dark blue. They continued flashing then stopped and stayed like that. Tenchi's eyes flew open and he dashed at her. Washu was barely able to block. Tenchi battled furiously but it still seemed that Washu had the upper hand.

"You're doing good Tenchi... But you still need some work." She said pushing Tenchi back and putting her sword to his neck. "I win. Yeah!" She said in a childish voice as a sweat drop formed on Tenchi's head.

"Wow Washu! I never knew you were that good." Ryoko said flying towards them.

"Who do you think you got your fighting abilities from? Kagato." Ryoko looked at the ground and nodded. "Well you didn't. As a goddess I was born with fighting abilities and since you're the child of a goddess you too inherit the same abilities. Well Tenchi I'll see you here same time tomorrow alright?"

"Sure Washu. Well Ryoko how about we go for a walk?"

"Alright. I guess that's about all I can do now."

"Actually Ryoko you could get Tenchi to wait on you hand and foot." Washu said before disappearing.

"That's not a bad idea..." She said looking at Tenchi's expression. "Don't worry Tenchi darling. I think it will be a while before that happens."

"Whew." Tenchi sighed as they walked off. After dinner they all went to bed for what they thought would be a peaceful night.

It was three in the morning and everyone was asleep when a beeping noise went off in Tenchi and Ryoko's room. Tenchi woke up and looked at the blinking light on his watch. He propped himself up on his elbows and pushed the flashing button on his watch. A screen popped up right in front of him with very worried looking Ayeka.

"Ayeka what's wrong? It's three o' clock in the morning."

"I'm very sorry Tenchi but a problem has arisen involving the Marakian Empire and requires your presence here on Jurai." (Alright I know the name might be stupid but I suck at this kind of thing.)

"Alright I understand Ayeka. I'll be there as soon as I can."

"Alright Tenchi." Was all she said before she cut communication. Tenchi threw on his Juraian robes and ran to Washu's lab.

"Washu... Washu." Tenchi said shaking her gently. Washu continued to sleep so Tenchi did the last thing you can do when you're in a hurry. "WASHU!!!" He said shaking her violently.

"WHAAAAAA!!! Geez Tenchi what are you trying to do rip my head off." She said gasping for breath.

"I'm very sorry Washu but I need a ship and information on the Marakians."

"What? Why Tenchi?"

"Ayeka just called and told me there were problems and that it involved the Marakian Empire."

"Well alright Tenchi but you don't seem very nervous about all this."

"Well I was trained to be emperor you know."

"I know that, you just don't show that side much."

"I'd be pretty boring if I did. Now how about that information?"

"Oh! Sure Tenchi!" She said jumping out of bed. Tenchi followed her to the main section of the lab. Washu summoned her holo-computer and two pillows. They both sat down as Washu started typing.

"Here you are Tenchi. What do you think this problem is?"

"Probably something that could lead to war."

"Well then it undoubtedly will."

"Why do you say that?"

"The Marakians are power hungry they probably don't want anything except Jurai and all of it's territory."

"Great. Well I've got to go Washu so where's the ship?"

"Huh? What do you mean you have to go?" Ryoko said as she floated into the lab.

"Oh so your awake." Tenchi said giving her a kiss.

"Yeah and I want to know where you're going."

"I'm going to Jurai to take care of some problems."

"Well I'm coming too."

"I don't know if that's..."

"Tenchi I wouldn't worry. Ryoko will be fine inside the palace. Well follow me." Washu said walking towards the hangar. Washu stopped in front of a strange looking ship. It was a metallic gray color but had a wooden texture like a Jurai ship, it also had a red sphere in the center and looked like the Funaho.

"Uuuhhh... Washu what is it?" Tenchi asked acting very skeptical about the look and shape of the ship.

"Well I haven't named it yet but it's the most powerful high class fighter. I built it buy crossing a Jurai space tree with some of Ryo-Ohki's DNA."

"Wow that's great Washu. Well come on Ryoko I have to be there as soon as I can." Tenchi said running into the ship with Ryoko right behind him.

"Wow Washu sure did a great job with the interior." Ryoko said visibly amazed at the luxury of the whole thing. Ryoko walked into the cockpit and studied the controls. "Tenchi I think I should pilot this. The controls are identical to Ryo-Ohki's."

"Alright Ryoko I'm counting on you." He said as she punched one of the orbs and the ship sped off.

Three hours later...

"Ok Tenchi we're within five minutes of landing you better send the authorization codes."

"Alright." He said putting in a card of some sort. And within five minutes they were in the palace hangar. Waiting for them was Ayeka, Lady Funaho, Lady Misaki, and a few other Jurai noblemen.

"Welcome Lord Tenchi." Ayeka said giving him a hug.

"Yes it's good to see you Tenchi." Funaho said and gave him a hug.

"Ooohh... Teeennncchhiii." Came Misaki's voice as she gave Tenchi a bone crushing hug. When she was done she moved on to Ryoko who had just been snickering at Tenchi.

"Now Tenchi there will be no negotiation." Ayeka told him as she, Tenchi, and Ryoko walked farther into the palace.

"What? Why?"

"Because they want the whole of Jurai territory. We called you here for procedure and for you to give a declaration of war."

"Well I want to do more than that but for right now that will have to do." He said as the three of them walked into a large room with many Jurai noblemen. They all rose and bowed to Tenchi and Ryoko. "All right we don't have time for this just get me on the galactic broadcasting channel so
I can make the speech. One more thing before that though is the Jurai navy ready for battle?"

"Yes sir it is."

"All right then put me on." Tenchi waited for the signal. When it was given he gave a declaration of war. After about ten minutes he sat down.

"Well that's it then." Ayeka said looking rather depressed.

"No it's not."

"What? What do you mean Lord Tenchi." Ayeka asked with a shocked expression.

"I will be fighting too." The whole assembly gasped at this statement.

"What the hell are you talking about Tenchi?!"

"Don't worry Ryoko. I'll be fine."

"Oh and just what are you planning to do? You don't have any piloting experience."

"I'm not planning on fighting. I'm planning on attacking the enemies ships from the inside."

"What are you crazy?"

"I must agree Lord Tenchi. The Marakians have amazing strength and are usually in great numbers."

"Yes, well I have amazing powers greater than any Marakian."

"Tenchi I don't want you going out there."

"I'm sorry Ryoko but as Emperor I have to help."

"But Tenchi I don't want..." She was cut off when Tenchi gave her a passionate kiss.

"I'll be fine Ryoko." He said as they separated. "Now you go enjoy yourself."

"Not with you away." She said as she walked off toward her room.

"Now to call Jim." Tenchi said as he fooled around with his watch. Suddenly Washu's image appeared in mid air.

"Yes Tenchi?"

"Washu I need to speak with Jim."

"Sure just wait a sec." Washu said as she walked away from the screen. A few minutes later Jim's face appeared.

"Yeah Tenchi what is it?"

"Hey Jim how would you like to put those sword lessons to use." Jim gave a wide smile.

Three hours later...

"Wow Jim I didn't think you'd be able to convince Sasami into letting you come."

"Well it was hard. So when do we make our first move?"

"Tomorrow. We have word that a Marakian heavy capital ship is on its way. Oh and before I forget take this." He said throwing Jim the Tenchi-ken. "Grandpa told me that it would work for you."

"Wow I get to fight with the master key. Awesome!"

"Yep. Now we have to experiment with a few things. Those Marakians have superhuman abilities so you'll need more than traditional Jurain battle armor."

"What are we going to use something of Washu's?"

"No."

"Then what." Tenchi smiled. He summoned the blue Light Hawk Wings. "What does this have to do with my armor problem?"

"You'll see just hold still." He said as one of the wings went over Jim's body and formed the Light Hawk Armor. "So how does it feel? Not too much for you to handle I hope."

"No but it does feel funny like I'm stronger faster and overall more powerful."

"That's because you are. Now we better prepare then we'll have time for a little fun. Did Sasami come along?"

"You know it."

"Well then let's get going." He said as they made their way to the briefing room. When they entered all of the high ranking officers bowed. The others sat as one remained standing.

"Emperor Tenchi I do not think you should..."

"Stop right there Admiral. I don't want to here it. I came here to review your current battle plan and make changes however I see fit. I also require any information you have on A Marakian heavy capital ship. Is that clear Admiral?"

"Yes sir but may I ask who is that young man with you?"

"This is Jim. Future husband of the goddess Sasami."

"How do you know this?"

"I have my ways. The master key is one of them." He said as Jim pulled it out.

"I see."

"That's great because I'd really like to get down to business."

"Yes sir. As you can see there are five heavy capital cruisers moving towards our heavily guarded lunar outposts. The only problem is that these heavy capital ships are extremely powerful along with the fact that other frigates and middle class fighters escort them. The threat right now is the one heading for the outer moon. The outpost is heavily armed but it won't last long under that kind of fire power."

"Alright then do you have any fast traveling APCs?"

"Unfortunately not fast enough for what you're wanting to pull off."

"Then I would like to commence the construction of one that will suit us. I need it fast and nearly undetectable. Do you think you can handle that?"

"For the Emperor. No problem."

"Alright but if you don't mind could you put the Light Hawk symbol on the side. I plan on using this one a while."

"That's a funny request but yes I will make sure that's put on."

"Thank you and the data on the heavy capital cruiser?"

"Right here sir we've had a spy go through one of those with a fine tooth comb."

"Good going Admiral. Well I'm off."

"Good by sir."

"Well Jim let's go to the training area for about two hours then you can do whatever you want. That sound good?"

"That's great. Let's go."

Two hours later...

"Well that's it for today I'm sure Sasami would like to spend the rest of the day with you. Remember meet me in the hangar at three tomorrow morning."

"Got it see ya Tenchi." He said walking off.

"Now I've got to get to the hangar but first to get Ryoko." (Ryoko I'm done training but I have to be down in the hangar to oversee the construction of a special ship do you wanna...) Before Tenchi could finish Ryoko had phased down into his arms. "Well then let's go." He said as he carried her down to the hangar. The ship was already half way done. Ryoko flew up and right in front of the Ship.

" Well I see you added the Light Hawk symbol. Is this a new type of ship? I don't remember seeing it when I attacked Jurai."

"Well this is the only one built especially for this operation."

"Well as long as my Tenchi's safe."

"Don't worry Ryoko. I won't be here when you wake up. It'll be pretty early when I head out."

"Then wake me up."

"No."

"Why not? I want to see you off."

"Ryoko I don't want to wake you up. You don't have anything to worry about."

"You're waking me up and that's final."

"Oh all right." Tenchi said with a sigh. "Well let's go eat and I'll take you shopping or sightseeing whatever you want. I have to get to bed early."

"Oh have big plans do you." Ryoko said seductively.

"Ryoko. You heard Washu."

"I know, I know but it'll be a while before I get in that kind of condition." Tenchi wrapped his arms around Ryoko's waist.

"Oh and did Washu confirm this?"

"Mmmm-hmmm."

"Well then looks like I have a little more to look forward to then don't I?"

"You got it."

"Well first I've got to get something to eat."

"All right let's go." She said as they both walked out.

The next morning... (Sorry for the jump.)

"You ready Jim?"

"As ready as I'll ever be." He said as a man ran up to them.

"Emperor Tenchi I'll be piloting the Light Hawk and we're out of here in five so load up."

"All right thanks. Come on Jim."

"Right behind ya." He said as they boarded the Light Hawk."

"Ok now Emperor Tenchi the Marakian cruiser is two hours from the outer moon base so that means you have to destroy or sabotage that thing in one hour and fifteen minutes its main cannon has unsurpassed range. To tell you the truth sir I don't know how you're going to pull this off."

"Don't worry I have my ways. Time to suit up." Tenchi said summoning the dark blue Light Hawk Wings and used to wings to form the Light armor on Jim and himself. After they were suited up the blue wings went back to white and Tenchi formed two more.

"Why are you going back to the regular wings?"

"I don't think I'll need any more than this and I don't want to use up too much energy I don't have an unlimited supply you know."

"Yeah I guess you're right. So did you study the layout of the ship?"

"Of course."

"Man Tenchi I didn't know you were so good at your job."

"Well I spent most of my college years studying tradition, customs, and laws of Jurai."

"Bet that came in handy."

"Sure did."

"Um... Emperor Tenchi if I may interrupt who is your friend?"

"Geez everybody seems to ask that. His name is Jim and he's the future husband of the goddess Sasami."

"Wow! How do you know that?"

"The master key and the fact that Sasami's madly in love with him."

"Oh. Thanks. And Jim."

"Yes."

"You're a lucky guy."

"I know." He said with a smile.

"Well we're here." He said as the enormous ship came up on the screen.

"Whoa the blue prints made this thing look smaller. It really doesn't matter though."

"Ok Emperor Tenchi you're on your own from here on. As soon as you're in I'll head back use your watch with the set frequency. Oh and one more thing once you've cut through the main door the first floor will detect you. See ya and by the way my name's Harry." He said as Tenchi and Jim went through the tube that was attached to the main door.

"Ok Jim stand back." Tenchi said as he formed the Light Hawk Sword. "Hey you need to get the Tenchi-ken ready."

"Oh yeah." He said igniting the sword. Tenchi then proceeded to cut open the door, which was absolutely no problem. Tenchi kicked open the door and they walked in.

"Well that wasn't so... Whoa!" Tenchi yelled as he saw a figure that had a human form but with green and yellow scales and glowing yellow eyes."

"Ooohh... Intrudersss and the emperor of Jurai no doubt. I'll have to kill you." He said charging at them. Tenchi and Jim immediately separated by jumping out of the way. Tenchi then ran up and impaled the Marakian and green ooze spilled out.

"Well that wasn't so bad." Jim said but Tenchi shook his head.

"Now they know we're here and there are several chokepoints along the way so be ready."

"Got ya." He said as they continued walking down the dark hallway.

"Ok we're approaching one of the potential chokepoints so be careful." Jim nodded as they reached a wide open circular area.

"I see what you mean about the possible ambush but there doesn't seem to be anyone here."

"They haven't had enough time to prepare."

"Haaa!" Came the cry of a Marakian as turned around and blocked the oncoming sword but the Marakian was stronger. He had Jim pinned to the ground.

"Screw this!" He said and rolled out of the way so that the Marakian hit the ground hard. Jim waited till he got back up then cut the things head off.

"Wow you are getting better."

"Of course."

"Yeah, yeah come on let's go before more come." They both ran off. They got half way down the second hallway when they were fired upon by a mobile sentry turret. Tenchi immediately formed the Light Hawk shield around the both of them. He then put the Light Hawk Wings into a triangular formation. The center started glowing and fired a beam that destroyed the turret. They continued through the ship and made it past three potential chokepoints with very little trouble.

"I don't like this. This is a heavy capital cruiser the strongest mass production weapon in the Marakian arsenal and barely any men or defenses." Jim said clearly growing frustrated.

"It is disturbing but the largest and most dangerous chokepoint is up ahead. It's the last chokepoint before we reach the generator room. Well let's get going." Tenchi said as they went into a huge dome room with eight doors and fifty men waiting for them but they had blue and red scales. Tenchi and Jim walked into the center.

"Hellooo we are the elite fightersss." Said one of Marakians.

"Well that's just great we shouldn't have any problem with you." Tenchi said but spoke to soon roughly fifty more Marakians jumped from the roof and cut off their point of entrance. These soldiers were different from the elite and Tenchi could sense their power. They had orange, blue, and gold scales.

"Hellooo Emperor Tenchiii we have awaited your arrival we are the sssuper elite fightersss."

"Jim this calls for more power." Tenchi said as he closed his eyes and his wings and Jim's armor started to glow a darker permanent blue. Tenchi opened his eyes and created a new sword along with attaching one wing to his arm as a shield and the other went to his back. He created three more and one attached to Jim's arm and two went to cover his back.

"What's that for?"

"If you get killed Sasami will have my head. Besides you're a good friend."

"Enough sssmall talk letsss fight." One of the super elites said as it formed a blue energy sword and charged at Tenchi who easily parried. The elites charged at Jim with green energy swords. The two took them on welcomingly fighting with all they had. After about thirty minutes of fighting there were roughly forty five soldiers left. Jim wasn't faring to well and if Tenchi didn't act quickly he would be killed the only problem was that Tenchi was completely cut off. Five more minutes and Jim just couldn't hold out. He let down his guard and was slashed on the chest. This pissed Tenchi off his red Light Hawk Wings erupted and Tenchi pushed all the Marakians off and ran at the soldier who was about to make the final blow on Jim and slashed it in half.

"Jim are you alright?"

"I'll be fine just finish the job." He said. Tenchi turned around and literally disintegrated the remaining troops. He then commanded a Light Hawk Wing to cary Jim. Tenchi entered the Generator room and reviewed the controls.

"Ah man how do you work this?" He said as the ships computer let out a warning.

"Five minutes until target is within range."

"Crap five minutes and I have no idea how to work this Jim's knocked out. Washu!" Tenchi said as he got Washu on the video screen.

"Whoa Tenchi what's up?"

"Listen Washu I need to know how to overload an HWG fifteen hundred model generator?"

"What! Tenchi where are you?"

"I'm aboard a Marakian heavy capital class cruiser. Why?"

"How in the hell did you get there?"

"Listen Washu I need to know how to overload an HWG fifteen hundred model generator and that's all. HURRY!"

"Alright, alright. An HWG fifteen hundred eh. Here I'll walk you through it." Washu said and within two minutes they had the generator set to self-detonate in seven minutes.

"Harry! Harry come in this is Emperor Tenchi we need immediate evac."

"Got ya Emperor Tenchi be there in four minutes out."

"Alright now Jim's in one of the wings so I guess I'm ready to go." He said running for the exit.

"Whoa you're in a hurry!" Harry said as Tenchi boarded the Light Hawk.

"Go, go! We have three minutes to get out of the blast radius of this ship."

"You're nuts aren't you?"

"When you're married to the most famous space pirate in the galaxy, living with a former outlaw and two goddesses you've got to be a little crazy. Now GO!" He said as Harry flew away from the ship.

"Emperor Tenchi..."

"Just Tenchi."

"Alright Tenchi I don't know if we'll be able to make it out in time without burning the engines."

"Give it all she's got. I'll supply more power." He said letting some of his energy be absorbed into the ships generator.

"Wow that really got her goin. We'll be back in no time."

"Good I want to see Ryoko." Suddenly a red light started flashing. "What's going on Harry?"

"I don't know I picked up a high energy reading coming from the cruiser."

"Uh oh. It's going to fire it's main cannon."

"Whoa that's bad for us not the base. The cannon will never shoot, when you overloaded the generator it makes it produce too much energy for the ship to handle. That means right before that thing fires it'll cause the ship to blow to pieces which gives us less time to get outta here."

"Let me help a little more." Tenchi again let the generator absorb his power but this time he gave all of it which in turn caused him to collapse. The ship however was moving at an unheard of rate.

"Well looks like we'll make it after all." KABOOM!!!! The ship was annihilated and the Light Hawk barely escaped the blast radius.

Back at the palace...

Ryoko and Sasami were waiting as the ship landed. Harry walked out.

"Wait where's Tenchi?"

"Yeah and Jim?"

"Well Tenchi gave up his energy to power the ship and in turn collapsed. Jim as far as I could tell had a deep cut in his torso along with a few other injuries Tenchi just had a few slash marks nothing serious." Ryoko and Sasami both knocked Harry down trying to get inside. When Sasami saw Jim she levitated him right next to her and she placed a hand on his torso. When she raised her hand the cut was gone and Jim woke up. When he saw Sasami he cupped her face in his hand and they locked in a passionate kiss same for Tenchi and Ryoko after Ryoko lent some of her power to get him up. They walked outside and Tenchi was greeted by the Admiral.

"Ah Emperor Tenchi you were successful I take it."

"Just barely. I need to have a talk with you admiral."

"Yes sir." He said as he led Tenchi to the briefing room.

"Admiral the ships internal structure was a little more advanced than the blueprints described."

"Yes we were mistaken as to what type of ship you were boarding. You see the Royal Marakian flagship and the Marakian heavy capital cruiser are almost identical the only visible difference is that the flagship is slightly larger. The other invisible differences are that the flagships armor and cannon are stronger and there is only one flagship."

"Alright next is can the Jurai navy take care of the other capital ships at least two of them?"

"We should be able to take out three."

"That's great I need some time to rest I greatly underestimated the Marakians."

"Yes sir."

"Well I will see you in a few days. Oh and Admiral."

"Yes sir?"

"Its just Tenchi."

"Yes Tenchi."

"Thanks." He said walking out to meet Ryoko.

"Well what did you need to talk to him for?" She asked looking slightly annoyed.

"Oh I just had to work out some time off."

"That's what I like to hear. So are we going to stay here or go home?"

"What do you want to do?"

"Let's stay one day here then go home."

"That's fine with me. What exactly would you like to do?"

"Hey Tenchi." Came Jim's voice as he walked up to them. "Ryoko do you mind if I could have Tenchi help me with something?? It'll only take about half an hour." He said with pleading eyes.

"Oh all right."

"Yes Tenchi come with me." Jim said. They walked a good distance and when Jim was sure that there was no one around.

"Hey Tenchi I need your help finding a ring."

"Oooh... So I guess you're going to propose to Sasami."

"Well yeah."

"Yeah I'll help you find a ring I know a great little shop that has the best selection." He said as they both walked off.

"What is Jim being so secret about? He must have asked Washu to disable my powers again."

"Yeah Jim asked for Tenchi's help with something today." Ryoko said as she phased into one of the chairs.

"You know Ryoko Washu said not to do that too much."

"I know I just keep forgetting."

"Well you better stop. Now what's this about Jim wanting Tenchi's help?"

"I don't know he wouldn't say anything around me and he looked real nervous."

"I wish Washu would stop blocking my powers!"

"Jim's being very sneaky isn't he."

"Alright Jim here we are." Tenchi said as he led Jim into a small store.

"This place is tiny."

"It looks tiny on the outside but there is a giant room father into it."

"Oh."

"Follow me I'll show you where it is." Tenchi led Jim into the back where there was a huge selection. They searched for sometime before Jim made his decision. He chose a gold band for an engagement ring. The wedding ring was gold outlined with a type of pink diamonds and in the center was a blue round stone.

"Good choice Jim. It'll look great on Sasami." At the sound of Sasami the manager of the shop raised his head.

"You think so?"

"Of course it's perfect in my opinion."

"Umm... Excuse me but did you say Sasami?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"The goddess Sasami?"

"Yes!" Jim said getting rather annoyed.

"Emperor Tenchi who is this?"

"Why do people keep asking that?! This is Jim Hawkins and future husband of Sasami and how I know this is of no concern to you.


"Yes sir. I'm very sorry. Now is that the ring you were planning on buying."

"Yes I think I'll take." Jim said as he handed the man a truckload of money.

"Where'd you get all that?" Tenchi asked.

"Well Sasami set me up with a position equal to prince."

"Wow!"

"That's what I said."

"Well let's get going Ryoko and Sasami are going to be pissed." Tenchi said as he started to run out the door.

"Right behind ya!"

When they arrived at the palace Ryoko and Sasami were nowhere to be found.

"Where'd they go."

"Shopping." Came a voice from around the corner. Gene came out and waved. "Yeah Ayeka took them all to this new mall or something and naturally everyone was more than happy to go."

"Why didn't you go Gene? I bet you're completely broke." Jim said with a laugh.

"Hey shut up! That's not it at all I'd have to be crazy to go with them to the mall. God knows I would've been stuck holding all their clothes and I don't want to be seen like that!"

"He's got a point there Jim."

"Yeah I guess so." Jim said with a sigh. He hated it when Gene proved him wrong.

"By the way where were you two a little while ago?"

"No where!" Jim said before Tenchi could even open his mouth.

"Ah come on I won't laugh... Too hard."

"Shut up Gene!" Jim shook his head and sighed. "You are so immature."

"Yeah what's that suppose to mean?"

"Exactly what it sounds like!" By this time Tenchi just sat in the back with a huge sweat drop on his head.

"You're the younger one."

"Yeah isn't that a shame I'm younger than you and I'm the mature one that's pretty sad."

"Will two stop arguing." Came a familiar voice.

"Sazuka? Wow great to see you."

"Well it's good to see you too Jim."

"Hey isn't someone going to say hi to me?" Came the voice that belonged to Ashia.

"Hi Ashia. Why are all of you here?" Tenchi asked.

"Just to talk. Is that a problem?"

"No, no I was just curious."

"Actually we were told you were here. So we came to congratulate you on the successful destruction of the Marakian flagship."

"Well thanks. Hey where's Melfina?"

"Melfina couldn't come she's now the top strategist and spends all her time producing battle strategies. She doesn't even come out for meals."

"So I take it that she developed the battle plan I was shown yesterday by the Admiral."

"You got it."

"So what is your current position?"

"Still head of the elite ground forces. We're planning on sending troops to storm the approaching cruiser."

"Are you planning on going."

"Yes on the first attack to observe troops."

"Yeah and I bet my troops will be a lot better than yours Sazuka."

"We'll see."

"Sazuka, Ashia I am planning to attack the final one in three days would you be able to assist?"

"Sure Tenchi that'll be fun." Ashia said with a big smile.

"Ashia... Ugghh... Never mind." Sazuka sighed shook her head.

"What? What's wrong Sazuka?"

"Forget it Ashia. Yes Tenchi I'm in."

"Great! Well I'll see ya." Tenchi said walking away.

"Bye Ashia. Bye Sazuka." Jim said as he attempted to get away from any more of Gene's questions.

"Ooohhh Jiimmm. You're not getting out that easy."

"Ooooohhh. Can't you just mind your own business?"

"Nope. Now where were you?"

"At a jewelry store I swear. Can I go now?"

"No. Now what were you doing there?"

"Shopping."

"For what?"

"Will you stop interrogating me?"

"No. Now what were you shopping for?"

"Shut up!" Jim said as he attempted to pass him. Gene just jumped in front of him.

"What was it?"

"You'll just laugh at me. Well here see for yourself." He said throwing Gene a small box. Gene opened it up and a smile formed on his lips.

"Aww is little Jim gonna propose to Sasami? That's soo cute." He said grabbing Jim's cheek.

"Cut that out. Now give me the ring."

"Alright here." Once Jim had the ring he left to wait for Sasami.

About two hours later...

The hover platform carrying Washu, Sasami, Ryoko, and Ayeka arrived. Sasami saw Jim and jumped off the platform to meet him.

"Hey Jim!" She said giving him a kiss.

"Hey Sasami. Can we go somewhere private?"

"Ooohh. You're bad Jim." She said with a playful grin.

"No Sasami I don't mean that! I have a question to ask but not here."

"Alright I know a great place." She said as she literally dragged Jim. Sasami stopped in the middle of a huge garden maze. "Well what did you want to ask me?"

"Well uhhh... I mean..."

"Oh come on Jim spit it out!"

"Alright." Jim pulled a small green box out of his pocket. He handed it to Sasami. As she started opening it he asked the Big question. "Sasami... Will you marry me." He asked as she took out the ring. The next thing he saw was Sasami jumping on him and smothering him with kisses.

"Of course I will Jim. You don't know how long I've waited to hear that!"

"Well that was pretty painless." He said with a laugh.


"Ooohh... Come on Tenchi. Tell me what Jim's up to." Ryoko pleaded.

"Nope. Jim will tell you later... If he even wants to tell you. You're bound to figure it out sooner or later."

"Oh I hate it when people do this, especially my Tenchi." She pouted.

"Ryoko you'll find out in about a week."

"WHAT! Why?"

"Well I'm sure Jim and Sasami will be staying here for a while. This is Sasami's home you know."

"Oh alright! I can see you're not going to tell me." She said hovering around him for a moment before disappearing. Tenchi just shook his head.

"That's one thing that'll never change. She's still stubborn." He said with a laugh.

In the dimension only known by the three goddesses...

"D-3 I don't want that to happen again! We can not allow Tenchi to continue. I don't know whether to call Washu on this one and tell her to stop or take care of it myself."

"Surely Lady Tokimi you don't intend to personally handle this do you?"

"D-3 right now I'm going to try anything."

"Lady if I might ask what is the reason for this attack on Jurai?"

"To stir up trouble. No D-3 it's actually to get Tsunami."

"What do you need her for?"

"She'll try and back Tenchi up in her own way. I can't allow that."

"Yes Lady. So what is your plan?"

"Well I know Washu won't back down so I must take care of this myself. Tenchi will be making a final attack in three days. I'll meet him there."

"Tokimi! You've seen how powerful that boy is and you have said that he is still hiding some of his true powers."

"D-3 will you shut up! How dare you doubt my decisions!"

"I'm sorry Lady, but at least allow a selected few and myself accompany you." Tokimi sighs.

"Alright D-3. Now please leave."

"Yes Lady." He said with a bow and disappeared.

"You are becoming a burden Washu. I will be paying you a visit."

Somewhere on Jurai...

"You asked to see me sister?"

"Yes Washu. Please come here." Washu complied and walked to where Tsunami was. "Washu do you know why the Marakians are so power hungry?"

"Because they are guided by Tokimi."

"Correct, but I don't think this is just for power. I think Tokimi is personally ordering this to get to me."

"Why?"

"I will be helping Tenchi."

"How?"

"Well n a way I will. Really Sasami will but we are assimilated and she has my powers so in a way it is me."

"I see. So are you afraid she will come after you or Sasami?"

"Both." Tsunami said sadly. "If the Marakians fail she'll do it herself... And in full force."

"Why is she using the Marakians?"

"Sister you know very well why. One she's lazy and two we agreed not to interfere with the mortals too much."

"You've certainly have broken that rule many times." Washu mumbled under her breath.

"What was that sister?"

"Oh... Oh nothing Tsunami. Now if you don't mind my husband is waiting."

"Certainly and if I'm correct so is Sasami's to be. He should be around when you get back."

"What you mean Jim proposed to Sasami! Why didn't I know about this?" Tsunami chuckled.

"Tsunamiiii!!!" Washu said as a warning.

"Alright, alright." She said snapping her fingers.

"Thank you sister. By the way don't do that again."

"I won't anytime soon." Washu just shook her head and disappeared.

Washu reappeared right in Gene's arms.

"You're starting to act like your daughter. By the way where'd you go? You just vanished without a word."

"Oh Tsunami just had to speak to me."

"Tsunami huh." Came Jim's voice.

"Oh there's the lucky guy." Washu said with a slight chuckle.

"Wha... What are you talking about Washu?"

"Oh Jim don't play dumb. I know you proposed to Sasami. Tsunami added that info right before I left."

"Well you caught me. But don't tell anyone alright? I don't want a lot of attention. I just want to freak everyone out."

"Oh well I can join you two. I am a goddess after all. A divine being is good enough right."

"Sure! That'd be great!"

"Well then I'll see you in a few days." With that said she turned around and disappeared."

"That Washu's one in a million." Jim said as he turned to leave.

The next day...

Tenchi and Ryoko were saying goodbye to everyone before they left for earth. They were only going to be gone for two days but naturally Misaki took it as two centuries. Washu wasn't going to go with them but wouldn't tell why. Ryoko and Tenchi were waving goodbye as the doors closed to their ship, but just before the doors were completely closed Ryoko noticed a shine coming from Sasami's hand. The doors closed and the ship started to lift off.

"Hey Tenchi did you notice something on Sasami's finger?" Ryoko asked slowly turning around to face her husband.

"Uh... Well no... I didn't see a thing." Tenchi stuttered.

"You're not very good at keeping secrets are you Tenchi?"

"Wha... What do you mean? I'm not keeping a secret from you."

"You're also a very bad liar. Well I'll just have to make you tell me." She said wrapping her arms around Tenchi's neck. Ryoko then started rubbing her body against his causing him to sweat a great deal.

"Ryoko don't tease me. Come on you know that annoys me."

"Not until you tell me what that was."

"Ryoko I can'. Besides you should be able to figure it out." She gave him a passionate kiss before letting him go.

"Hmmm. Let me see... Oh! It's so obvious. How could I have missed it? Jim proposed didn't he?" Tenchi just smiled. "I bet Sasami's overjoyed. Are they going to have a wedding?"

"Probably not a public one if that's what you mean. They don't want too much attention."

"I guess you're right. The marriage of a goddess is bound to attract a lot of attention. I bet my mother is going to marry them."

"You just acknowledged Washu as your mother."

"So. She is isn't she?" She said with a confused look on her face.

""Well yeah but it's just that you usually don't call her that unless she's around."

"I don't know I just feel like giving her a chance."

"I think that'll make Washu happy."

"Tenchi you're going out again right?"

"Yeah in about two days. Why?"

"I want to come along."

"Ryoko you know I can't let you. Your pregnant."

"But Tenchi. That won't affect me too much."

"I know but that's not the point. I don't want you hurt or killed for two reasons. One I love you and two you're pregnant as I said before."

"I know but I want to fight along side of you."

"No and that's the end of it. You can spend time with Washu. I doubt she'll be going."

"But..."

"Ryoko." Tenchi said successfully ending the conversation.

In the dimension known only to the three goddesses...

Washu appeared before Tokimi and D-3.

"Washu. What brings you here?" She said with an evil smirk.

"You should know sister." She said obviously very angry.

"You know I cannot spy on your business, not without some outside help at least."

"Damn it Tokimi stop playing around!" Washu said forming a sword causing D-3 to jump in front of Washu. "Get out of my way D-3." She said levitating him and sending him into a nearby wall.

"My dear sister there is no need for a weapon. Besides you know I am much stronger than you." Washu opened her hand dissipating the sword.

"Why sister? Why do you constantly try and destroy Tenchi's life? The thing my daughter loves more than anything."

"You mean your creation, your machine." She said with an evil laugh.

"She is my daughter! I no longer think of her as my invention."

"It doesn't matter what you think sister, that's what she is."

"That is not what she is she has feeling too you know."

"I don't care."

"Why did you back the Marakians into going to war with Jurai? Just to kill Tenchi."

"My dear Washu I'm sure Tsunami told you that I was after Sasami."

"Yes, but you knew Tenchi would step in so you planned on killing two birds with one stone."

"I never said that. Speaking of Tenchi I hear he's going out for one more in two days. I fear this one will end up being quite difficult." She said twirling a ball of energy.

"What do you mean Tokimi?"

"Don't worry your little red head sister. Now leave me. There is no more to discuss." Tokimi said waving her hand causing Washu to disappear. Washu reappeared right next to a very surprised Gene.

"I wish you'd stop doing that." He said.

"Do what dear?" She said with a smile.

"Disappearing without a word."

"I'm sorry I'll try to warn you next time." She said as she gave him a passionate kiss.

"So what did Sasami say when Jim dropped the big question?" Washu just rolled her eyes.

"What do you think?"

"I said yes." Sasami said walking hand in hand with Jim.

"Yeah great goin Jim. Let me tell you the wedding night is the best part." Wham! "God I gotta quit saying that kind of stuff in front of you Sasami." He said his face looking like he was in great pain.

"Ok Gene even though it's true that neither of us will be sleeping that night but geez you don't hane to say anything." Gene looked up and noticed that Jim's face was extremely red. He started laughing hysterically but stopped immediately when he noticed the icy glare Sasami was giving him.

"Gene let's go before you get hurt."

"But I already am."

"Let's just go dear." Washu said dragging Gene off.

"Finally." Jim said.

"Oh Jim he's not that bad. Maybe a little clueless but he means well."

"You're too nice Sasami." He said giving her a passionate kiss.

Back on earth...

"Where have you guys been?" Noboyuki asked as Ryoko and Tenchi exited their ship.

"I had to be on Jurai."

"Oh yeah. To think my son's an emperor and soon to be a father. Finally I'll be a grandfather!" Noboyuki said patting Tenchi on the back.

"Yeah thanks dad. Well time to enjoy my two days on earth before I have to go back. Oh, and dad before I forget I wanted to tell you that Sasami and Jim are getting married."

"Wow really?! That's great. Is there going to be a wedding?"

"I don't think so. A goddess's marriage will probably attract too many people. See ya." He said as he and Ryoko walked out of the house and to the shrine. When they reached the top of the steps they saw Yosho sweeping. "How about we just go back. If he sees me he'll make me do the..." But Tenchi wasn't able to finish his sentence when he was spotted by his grandfather.

"Ah, Tenchi you're just in time. I was wondering when I would be able to take a break."

"Oooohh." Tenchi sighed as Yosho handed him the broom. About thirty minutes later Tenchi put the broom away and started down the steps.

"Tenchi. Where do you think you're going? I still have to check on you sword fighting skills."

"Grandpa! I just got home can't I relax?"

"If you relax you'll lose any edge you had to start with."

"All right but at least it'll seem like a fair fight now that you stay in your true form. I feel bad when I beat up an old man."

"Oh so you're getting cocky now are you? Well let's just see if your skills can match your attitude." He said throwing Tenchi a bokken. They assumed their fighting positions. Minutes went buy with no movement at all each one searching the other for some weakness or flinch. After about three minutes Tenchi's nose decided to start annoying him and he sneezed. Yosho took this as an opportunity to strike but by some unknown factor Tenchi was able to dodge the attack but was being slowly pushed back. Out of the corner of his eye Tenchi noticed a tree that he could use to his advantage. While deflecting his grandfathers attacks he managed to steer towards the tree. Once he was close enough he did a back flip and kicked off the tree somehow making it over his grandpa and cornering him. Tenchi had his sword to Yosho's neck.

"Ok grandpa that's enough don't where yourself out."

"Oh, so you think you've one do you?" He said as he pulled out a second bokken that was about half the size of a normal one and slashed at Tenchi. Luckily Tenchi was only scathed.

"Didn't something like this happen about eight or nine years ago when I went to get you for breakfast."

"Yes and you didn't learn a thing."

"Ehehe." Tenchi said scratching the back of his head.

"Well you may go now. You too Washu." He said as Washu jumped out of a nearby tree.

"Very good Tenchi but when you come back after your next visit to Jurai you'll have to deal with me." Tenchi just gulped.

"Well see ya Washu, see ya grandpa." Tenchi said hurrying down the steps with Ryoko floating behind.

"Tenchi dear if you need me I'll be in the onsen."

"All right Ryoko. I'll be in the living room." He said as Ryoko disappeared. Tenchi reached the bottom of the steps when Washu appeared in front of him.

"Tenchi if anyone asks I've gone to Jurai. I'm sure you've guessed why."

"It has to do with Sasami and Jim."

"I knew you'd figure it out." She said disappearing.

Back on Jurai...

"Sasami what is your mother going to think about our us getting married?" Jim asked as they walked through one of Jurai's many gardens.

"Don't worry Jim. My mother and Funaho are very fond of you."

"Well I know. I'm just nervous I guess."

"I know I am too."

"Hi you two little love birds." Came Washu's voice from behind them.

"Washu!" Sasami said blushing.

"I'm sorry I just couldn't help it. Look will you two meet me in the garden behind the palace."

"Which garden Washu? There are five of them." A sweat drop formed on Washu's head.

"Well... Which is the least visited?" Sasami closed her eyes and sent a mental picture of the garden.

"Alright. Thanks Sasami I'll contact you when we need to meet there."

"Thanks Washu." They said continuing their walk. Washu had some other business to attend to and disappeared.

Somewhere in another Dimension of Jurai...

"Tsunami." Washu said.

"Oh hello Washu." She said. But Washu's expression clearly showed she had something worrying her. "Washu is there something wrong?"

"I had talk with Tokimi recently. She said something about Tenchi and his next mission. I think she's planning on trying to stop him."

"She wouldn't dare! She knows that's against the rule. She is not allowed to touch the champions with her own hands or by the hands of any mercenary who is borrowing her powers until the tournament."

"I know but since when has Tokimi ever followed every rule. Tsunami she is more powerful than us. She is the goddess of darkness therefore she inherited the greatest power of the three of us. I'm the goddess of wisdom and you are the goddess of nature."

"I know. We're fortunate she even agreed to go along with the tournament."

"Sasami is planning to go also."

"Washu you have to stop her. You know what happens if she suffers a severe injury from Tokimi's sword."

"I know. I'll try to use a honeymoon as an excuse to skip the mission."

"Thank you sister."

"No problem. Well I have to go and meet the happy couple in about an hour so I'll see you." She said disappearing.

In the palace...

"Ooohh my little Sasami's getting married. It seems like just yesterday you were..."

"Mother can we please skip this part?" She asked. Then her mother's tear strained face turn to an evil glare. "Sorry mom. Go on."

"Thank you." She said letting her emotions take over. "It seems like just yesterday you were in diapers and falling all over the place trying to walk." Misaki went on and Jim started snickering. He quickly suppressed it do to the icy glare Sasami was giving him.

"When are you getting married?" Funaho spoke up. Sasami looked at the ground and started stuttering.

"Well... umm... Washu suggested we get married today." Everyone even Misaki did a face fault.

"WHAT!!!" Funaho and Misaki said at the same time.

"Sasami if your father were still alive he'd die right now, but not before he killed Jim." Jim gulped at this.

"Mom! I'm a big girl now I know what I'm doing."

"You only look older because you used your powers to age your body more quickly."

"Yeah well. I've been with Jim for eight years."

"That doesn't matter. And what's with you taking Washu's advice with something like this?"

"Mom I know you don't know this but Washu's the third and oldest goddess."

"Really! I wonder why she never told us. But that's beside the point. Aren't you going to have a wedding?"

"No mom it would attract too much attention. Most of Jurai knows that I'm a goddess. Besides Washu's fit to marry us."

"No she's not!"

"Mom! She's a goddess one of the three highest beings in the universe."

"Whatever but I think you're being rash."

"I'm a goddess and your questioning me?"

"Don't talk to me like that! I'm your mother." Sasami bowed her head in surrender. Jim couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing. One might say that Jim's situation was worse than if he had to deal with Sasami, this time he had to deal with her mother. "Don't you laugh at my Sasami." She said grabbing his head and stretching it to the point of intense pain.

"Owww I'm sorry. Stop... Oh come on pleeeaasssseee!" He pleaded.

"No you're going to listen to me whether you like it or not. Now you are marrying my daughter today and I expect you to keep her from all harm."

"Alright I already intended to do that." Misaki immediately cheered up and hugged him.

"Good that's what I wanted to hear."

"Well let's go Sasami we have to meet Washu." Jim said practically dragging her out of the room

"Bye mom." She managed to say before leaving the room

one hour later in one of the five gardens behind the palace...

"Well are you two ready?"

"I've been ready for about a year now." Sasami said eyeing Jim. He just gave a guilty and I'm so stupid kind of smile.

"How about you Jim?"

"Yes." He said in a firm confident manner.

"Well then let's get started."

(Ok listen folks I'm not going to put any detail in this. I'm anxious to get to this one part that will finish this chapter.)

Washu went through the ceremony and when it was time to present the rings Jim already had his but Sasami didn't. She pondered for a moment the waved her hand in the air creating a ring with a band made out of wood from the space tree Tsunami along with an elaborate decoration of small gems to give it color. Once everything was done and it came to the kiss is when Washu became impatient. After about five minutes she just threw her hands up and said.

"If I might interrupt this Kodak moment just to tell you that I need to see Jim in an hour. But only for a moment." They looked at her in a strange way for a moment then diverted their attention back to each other. Washu just shook her head and sighed just before teleporting away.

In the palace hangar...

"There you are Gene! I've been looking all over for you."

"Oh hi dear."

"What are you doing here?"

"Well I couldn't find you so I came here to request and supervise upgrades to the Outlaw Star along with Tenchi's ship."

"Speaking of which what are you planning on doing with tomorrows mission?"

"I was planning on taking care of the fighters that are with the cruiser. Why?"

"I have something else in mind. I want you to go with Tenchi."

"What! Why?"

"Because Jim won't be going."

"How do you know?"

"Well he doesn't know it yet but if he goes Sasami goes."

"Yeah. So?"

"Sasami will be in grave danger if she goes. Now I'll supply all the necessary weaponry and don't worry it will be the best there is."

"Washu you're not going are you? There's no way..."

"Gene don't worry I have no intension of going. My daughter on the other hand is going to be stubborn."

"Don't worry Tenchi won't let her."

"I wouldn't be so sure. Ryoko's about as strong as Tenchi with all of her gems."

"You know Ryoko would never harm a hair on Tenchi's head nor would Tenchi. So how are you going to convince Jim not to go?"

"I'm going to use the honeymoon as an excuse. He won't say no to taking his bride out somewhere alone."

"What?! They're already married?!"

"Yep."

"Oh I have got to go tease him."

"No you're going to spend time with me. Unless you don't love me." She said giving Gene puppy eyes.

"How could I ever pass up an offer like that?" He said wrapped his arms around Washu waist while she wrapped her arms around his neck as he drew her in for a passionate kiss.

Forty-five minutes later...

"Gene I have to go meet Jim. I'll be right back."

"Ahh can't I go with you and give him a hard time?"

"No because I'll be speaking with him privately. Of course if you'd like to give Sasami a hard time then of course you may go." That shut Gene up immediately. Washu smiled and gave him a quick peck on the lips before disappearing. Washu found them in a very intimate moment, which she was glad wasn't something worse. Washu cleared her throat multiple times trying to get their attention. Finally she gave up and literally amplified her voice to a magnitude that most of Jurai heard it.

"HEY CAN I PLEASE HAVE A SECOND OF YOUR TIME?!" Washu's yell sent Jim flying back and Sasami barely managed to keep from moving two feet. Washu lowered her voice to it's normal tone. "Thank you. Jim may I speak with you a moment? Oh come on Sasami don't give me that pissed off look." Sasami managed a somewhat decent expression while Jim stood up rubbing his head.

"Ow! Sure Washu but next time not so loud."

"Good. Come with me." She said touching Jim's shoulder and teleporting them to a more private place. "Jim I don't want you going with Tenchi tomorrow."

"What?! Why not?"

"Because if you go Sasami will go."

"I wouldn't let her. And besides what's so wrong with Sasami going? We all know she's capable of taking care of herself."

"I know but not against Tokimi."

"What do you mean? Is there an immediate threat from Tokimi?"

"Well I don't know for sure but there's a ninety five percent chance she'll be confronting Tenchi tomorrow."

"Well Sasami's also a goddess. Not as strong as Tokimi but never the less she's after Tenchi. Right?"

"Yes but if Sasami's there she might decide to kill two birds with one stone... Literally. There's a serious problem with Sasami going."

"Why? Wouldn't it be the same if you went? Washu I think you're keeping a certain detail from me. What is it?"

"Jim if Sasami suffer a serious internal injury by Tokimi's energy sword she will die within five minutes but don't say anything to Sasami. Tsunami chose not to give her that knowledge." Jim was stunned. This disturbed him greatly. What if Tokimi got to Sasami when they were out? Jim was a very talented fighter but no match for Tokimi.

"Well why can't I go."

"Because whether you like it or not she'll go along. I advise that you take Sasami out somewhere for a week or to starting tomorrow. Like a honeymoon."

"I can see I'm not going to win this argument so I'll go along with your plan. Besides Sasami would love that. Where do you suggest?"

(Ok this part is from Tenchi universe but I thought it would work well with this story.)

"Well there was a time when we had a crisis and were forced to move from place to place until it was settled. Well one place was an entire planet that was a huge chain of islands, which made the entire planet like a never-ending beach. The other girls had a lot of fun with a swimsuit competition. So did Tenchi." Washu said with a laugh.

"Where were you?"

"Me? I was disguising Mihoshi's ship and watching the competition from a mobile camera."

"I think you got the worst of that visit."

"Yeah but I made them give me the cash they one as payment for the modifications."

"I figured you would. So who won?"

"Nagi."

"Nagi?"

"A bounty hunter who never passed up the chance to challenge Ryoko. They were archrivals. Of course Ryoko took the money."

"Well what's this planet called?"

"It's near Jurai but not their jurisdiction. Its real name is Beta twelve but people don't refer to it as that. They call it the beach planet, which is basically what it is. I'll prepare one of my ships with coordinates downloaded into it. Bye."

"See ya Washu."

"Where have you been? You said you only needed him for a minute Washu!"

"Sorry Sasami it took longer than I thought. Well I have to be going" She said as for once flew away.

"That's weird she usually teleports."

"Well Jim she is pregnant. She's probably just being careful. So what did she want to talk to you about?"

"She had a very good idea she wanted to share. It turns out that I won't be going with Tenchi tomorrow."

"What? But they're going to need us."

"First of all if I were going it would be me and me alone."

"You know I'd come no matter what you said."

"That's why I'm not going. I'd be afraid you'd get hurt."

"Oh Jim. I'm a goddess. I can take care of my self."

"Washu thought you would get hurt. That's why she asked me not to go. So instead starting tomorrow we're going on a honeymoon to Beta twelve."

"Oh! I remember that place! I was so mad that I wasn't old enough to participate in the swimsuit competition. We're going to have sooo much fun. Oh my god! I have to pack." She said as she disappeared. Jim chuckled to himself. His wife was the most perfect thing in the universe to him. Not just because she was a goddess. He liked her before he even knew about that. He sighed and went to pack his things.

Tenchi was in Washu's lab trying to find a more strategic way of infiltrating the Marakian's cruiser without as much trouble. So far he had only found out some extra information and the only weakness was their intelligence. He sighed and decided to search in some of Washu's battle gear for the others. He hated putting them in danger but they weren't going to back down.

Washu appeared in her lab trying to find Tenchi.

"What am I doing in the lab? I've never known Tenchi to be in here." She said walking around for a while. She found him absorbed in some data and armor lying all over the place.

"Great now how do I get all this stuff back to wherever it came from. I hate this sub-space portal system." Washu was desperately trying to suppress a laugh. She snapped her fingers and a camera popped out of a sub-space portal. She snapped a picture of a very frustrated Tenchi sitting at a computer. He turned around surprise written all over his face. Washu's was all over the floor laughing.

"Oh... I'm sorry Tenchi... You just looked so cute... Now what was I here for? Oh yeah." She said regaining her composure and looked very serious.

"What's up Washu?"

"Tenchi I know you're not going to listen to me. I know that once you've made up your mind you're too stubborn to change it. But I would strongly advise that you not go on this mission tomorrow. There's a very good chance that you'll have to deal with Tokimi and her minions."

"What! Already? But Washu I thought I had another year or so before facing her."

"She's not going by the rule book Tenchi. I'm afraid you might not survive. Your power is phenomenal but it's not complete yet and in your current state you won't beat her."

"I know Washu, but I have to try. I can't let all of Jurai down."

"Tenchi your sense of justice and your bravery are unmatched. Tenchi promise me one thing."

"Alright."

"I don't want my daughters heart broken. If you die she'll die. Be careful."

"I will."

"Oh and one more thing. Jim won't be joining you."

"Why not?"

"Because if he goes Sasami will go."

"So?"

"Listen Tenchi. Pure evil's greatest weakness is pure good. Sasami is good through and through, Tokimi is evil through and through. In theory their powers should cancel each other out. But Tokimi is so much more powerful than Sasami so that Tokimi's powers are like a deadly poison. If Sasami suffers a run through by Tokimi's sword she will die within five minutes if she is not given medical attention. Instead Jim is taking her to beta twelve for about two weeks."

"I remember that place. Boy was it fun."

"Yeah because you got to see Ryoko and the other girls in their bikini's all at once."

"Not Sasami." Tenchi said as he was punched into the wall by Washu.

"You pedophile!"

"Oh come on Washu I was just kidding. Well I'm sure they're going to have a good time. I know I did."

"Yeah you did. I was modifying the Yukinojo."

"Hey I didn't ask you to did I?"

"No but you didn't mind either. Well I better be going. Oh and Tenchi. Don't decide to mess with anything in the weapons area. Alright?"

"Yeah sure. Why? It's not like I'm Mihoshi or anything. She's not even here."

"I'm just making sure." She said as she disappeared.

"Now how long is Ryoko going to stay in the onsen?" He said very frustrated.

Back on Jurai...

"Sasami you're going to Beta twelve? That's a wonderful place. You'll have so much fun." Misaki said as she helped her daughter pack.

"Yes I must agree Misaki that's a wonderful idea." Funaho said.

"I know. We didn't have much time to have fun the last time we were there. And this time I'll be able to participate in the swimsuit competition." Funaho and Misaki giggled.

"I don't think Jim will like that." Funaho said still giggling.

"Ahh don't worry. I told him about it and he didn't object."

"He's just gotten smarter."

"Mom! It's not like I'm going to hurt him."

"I know we're just teasing you. We both hope you'll have a great time. So where are you staying?"

"I don't know yet. I think Washu's making the reservations. That way I know we'll be getting the best."

"Yes Miss Washu is very resourceful."

"Well that's all. Goodbye mom goodbye Funaho."

"Bye Sasami." They said in unison as she disappeared.

"I'm very glad she didn't know how to do that when she was little." Misaki said with a smile.

"She would have been a lot of trouble."

The next day...

Tenchi was in the palace hangar along with all the others. As usual Ryoko had asked to go. She finally gave up and hugged Tenchi when everyone told her it wasn't a good idea. Gene walked up to Tenchi with about ten guns and god knows how much ammo.

"Hey Gene. I see you're going to be joining us."

"Yeah Washu talked me into it. It's been a long time since I've done a mission like this."

"Ah don't worry. You look like you're prepared for anything."

"Courtesy of Washu. At least I know it won't blow up in my face."

"Ashia, Sazuka are you ready?"

"I'm ready to kick some ass!" Ashia yelled out.

"Yes I'm ready Tenchi." Came Sazuka's reply.

"Tenchi don't you dare die!" Ryoko said from high in the air.

"Don't worry. I'll be fine."

"I'll still worry." She said as she disappeared.

"She's going to mad when I get back."

"Tenchi." Harry said coming out of the Light Hawk.

"Oh hey Harry."

"Tenchi the engineers took Washu and Gene's advice and upgraded the Light Hawk to operate better and accommodate more passengers."

"That's great. When do we depart?"

"Whenever you're ready."

"Let's go then." He said as everyone boarded the Light Hawk.

"Excuse me but are you Gene Starwind?" Harry asked.

"Yes."

"Well Miss Washu requested that you pilot us to the cruiser."

"Alright if she said I should then I better." He said sitting at the console. "Everyone ready?"

"Yeah let's go." They all said at the same time. Gene punched a button and they were off. They reached the ship in a matter of minutes.

"Wow! This thing's fast. Washu did a great job."

"Well let's go everyone." Tenchi said igniting the blue Light Hawk Wings.

"Tenchi I'll cut the door open. Washu gave me a cutter designed for something this hard." He said pulling out what looked like a miniature gun. He pulled the trigger and a fine short-range laser ignited from the tip. He cut only the air lock and proceeded to kick the door open.

In the cruiser's control room...

"They are here Lady Tokimi." D-3 informed.

"It's only a matter of time now. Are the others ready?"

"We are here Tokimi." Came a female voice from the shadows.

"Ah Tenaka. My most powerful warrior. You will be of great service during this mission."

"Yes Tokimi. If I may ask why do you fear Emperor Tenchi?"

"If his powers grow to their full potential he could possibly be more powerful than me. Right now his power surpasses yours."

"I understand."

"I'm growing impatient. Let's speed things up."

"What are you planning now Lady Tokimi?" D-3 asked.

"I'm changing the ship to get them here quicker." She said raising her hand. Black energy bounced around the ship. There was a quake and then nothing.

Tenchi and the others had just finished killing the last of the warriors. They moved on to the next room but Tenchi stopped.

"What's wrong Tenchi?" Gene asked.

"This room wasn't in the blueprints. Something's been changed."

"Let's just keep moving."

"Alright." Tenchi said heading through the doors. What they saw filled them with fear. There was Tokimi with two other warriors at her side.

"Ah you've finally arrived boy. And you've brought your friends with you."

"What do you want with me Tokimi."

"Your life."

"Tenchi who are the other two?" Sazuka asked.

"One's D-3 the other I have no idea."

"My name is Tenaka."

"Now Tenchi, I will kill you." She said forming a black energy ball and hurling it at Tenchi. He managed to block it but was struck from behind by Tokimi. "You're too easy boy. What!" Tokimi said spinning around and being hit by a blue projectile.

"You're not the only one with speed Tokimi." He said charging at her once more. This time Tokimi was ready. Meanwhile Ashia had gone to her wolf form.

"Ok listen you two I'll take Tenaka. You take D-3." Gene said whipping out a caster and firing it. The cater shell missed by only a few inches but did throw Tenaka off balance, which gave Gene enough time to whip out an AR three thousand (Damn there are too many of those.) Which he immediately fired. He managed to graze her arm before he lost site of her. He was suddenly hit from behind nearly run threw by her sword. He jumped and threw what looked like a Frisbee. It missed but created a huge explosion.

"Wow that's a cool weapon." He said searching threw his weapons when he pulled out a doll that looked like Washu. "What the?" He looked on the back where there was a button that said push and throw... FAR! "Alright." He said pushing the button and throwing it straight at Tenaka. The doll grew to where it was two times larger than Tenaka herself and opened its mouth and ate her. The doll just stood there until a sword pierced through the head. This seemed like a bad idea because right after the sword punctured the head the doll exploded sending Tenaka into a wall. She was now enraged. She ran at top speed and jumped over Gene and ran him through the ribs. Tenchi witnessed his friends downfall and attempted to veer from Tokimi and help him.

"Now, now Tenchi. That's rude." She said as she pointed a finger at him causing some sort of stasis field to form around him. "You can't save him Tenchi. He'll die along with your other two friends. Then you." Tenchi was suffering many wounds but energy still flowed in his veins. The site of his friend Gene on the verge sent him over the edge. The red wings sprung to life causing the stasis field to be destroyed. He spun around and thrust the sword into Tokimi's chest. He then grabbed one of the other wings and it formed into what looked like the blade of a scythe and through it at Tenaka. It connected with her chest and knocked her out. Tenchi ran over to Gene who was still alive and able to talk.

"Gene are you alright?"

"I'll... be fine. Just get the medpack from my pocket." Tenchi did so and handed it to Gene.

Tokimi looked at Tenchi with hate. "You'll still die boy." She said raising her hand and forming a giant black energy ball and sent it right at Tenchi. Tenchi looked up just in time and commanded three red Light Hawk Wings to block the projectile. They took only a fraction of the hit when they were shattered. Tenchi was sent flying back into the wall. He was in very bad shape. If you were to look at him it would only look like a few cuts but he had serious internal damage. He had received about eighty-five percent of the phenomenal energy blast. Gene had healed himself and witnessed the whole think he rushed over to Tenchi who was unconscious but shaking violently and coughing up large amounts of blood. He looked over at Ashia and Sazuka who beating the crap out of D-3.

"Ashia come here Tenchi's in bad shape." The massive wolf ran over while Gene hoisted him on her back. "Sazuka come on. We have to get back to the ship. Ashia try to keep him stable. Alright?" Ashia just roared. "Let's go." He said as they all ran back for the exit. Tokimi teleported herself, Tenaka, and D-3 out of the ship.

Gene, Tenchi, Sazuka, and Ashia arrived relatively quickly to the exit and had previously contacted Harry. They rushed in and the Light Hawk took off.

"What's wrong with Tenchi?" Asked a very surprised Harry. "And who's the giant wolf?"

"That's Ashia in her true form."

"Whoa!"

"Listen Harry we have to get back to the palace quickly. Tenchi's in very bad shape."

"I know. But the power that was being generated inside rocked this thing about two billion kilometers away from its original position."

"Damn it! Wait Washu installed an emergency booster. Can't you use that?"

"Yes but the Light Hawk would suffer serious damage."

"What's more important the emperor or some stupid ship?"

"Yes sir." Harry said pushing a red button. Within ten minutes they were back in the hangar. Gene pulled out another gadget that formed into a stretcher.

"Ok Ashia you may go back to your regular form now."

"Why didn't we use that in the first place?"

"Because we needed a face means of transporting Tenchi." He said as he walked out with Tenchi on the stretcher. He looked around for Washu. He spotted her and ran over. Unfortunately Ryoko was there and very worried.

"What happened Gene?" Washu said with a worried look. Even though Tenchi didn't look that bad she could sense that his condition was very bad.

"Well I was in some trouble so Tenchi formed his red Light Hawk Wings to break away from Tokimi. He stabbed her and helped me. Right after I healed myself with the medpack Tokimi shot this enormous black energy ball straight at Tenchi. He attempted to block the attack with three red wings but it just smashed through them like they were nothing." Washu's look was one of great anger.

"Tokimi may have killed him. We have to get him to one of my labs around here."

"What. Mom what do you mean he might be dead." Said Ryoko trying to contain her anger and sadness

"Can't you use your powers?" Gene asked.

"Yes but I could only heal the wounds. Not the dark energy though. That's Sasami's job and with the amount that hit him it would take even her a while. But I will heal the wounds." She said holding out her hands and closing her eyes. A red glow sprang from Tenchi and his wounds quickly healed. "Now let's get him to my lab."
